A Lodge in the Wilderness is a 1906 political quasi-novel by the Scottish author John Buchan. The book relates an imagined conference arranged by a multi-millionaire, Francis Carey to discuss the Empire. The guests are contemporary figures from the upper and professional classes: nine men and nine women who have in common superb articulateness, wide experience, and an interest in understanding how the Empire might be a positive influence. Buchan uses the opportunity to set out a variety of views on political and social issues, and to play devil's advocate.
