TESTAMENT OF YOUTH
.

by Vera Brittain.

New York: Seaview, (1980).

Book Club edition.

"Published in the U.S.A. by Seaview Books, 1980" statement to the copyright page, PBS 1980 TV tie-in statement "Now a Masterpiece Theatre Presentation" to the jacket's front panel.

This edition contains a new introduction by Brittain's daughter, Shirley Williams, Member of Parliament, and co-founder of the Social Democratic Party.

A significant literary work, autobiography and memoir of Brittain's pre-war life, a detailed account of her time as a nurse in WWI, and her turn to feminism, pacifism, and activist for world peace.

A nice presentable vintage hardcover in dust jacket.

Book-plate to the inside front cover, light fading to the shelf-edges as usual, else near fine, square, tight and probably unread in deep-blue cloth over textured sky-blue boards, with gilt embossed insignia to the front cover and with gilt embossed titles and decorative borders to the spine; in a very nearly fine dust jacket with art depicting a soldier silhouette on a watching face to the front panel, a trace of crimps to the upper and lower spine edges, and a hint of rubbing to the front and rear panels; no price to the inner flap. NO remainder mark.

NO remainder mark.
