Meynell, Alice

Alice Meynell (Essays of Today and Yesterday)

George G. Harrap, London, 1926. First Edition, Softcover. Fair Condition. black paper covers with blue & black titles in red border to paper label front; introductory note & contents to front. Mrs. Meynell held very insistently the belief that in the practice of literature and the arts women and men must work on an equality, be tried by the same tests, and ask no indulgence, the one from the other, on the score of sex. None the less, a woman must be an expert when writing of women; and, seeing that some rule of selection must apply to the arrangement of a volume such as this, the choice has fallen on such essays as relate to women who have created literature or been by literature created. Her own words have been in the compiler's mind: " The genus of Humanity is obviously larger than the species, Womanhood; but the species has its own value, keen and intense." Some of the essays, reclaimed from the periodicals to which they were contributed are here first published in book-form, often with the advantage of final amendments made by the author's own hand. One or two others appeared in volumes now out of print; and three are included in the volume of collected Essays. When passages from different articles on the same theme have been brought together the sequence has necessarily been the compiler's, but not without the assurance that it would have been also the author's own. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. 76 pages. Slight foxing to page edges. no Dust Jacket as published.. covers with flaps are present but detached at spine; mark to rear cover. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 250 grams. Category: Essays & Literary Criticism; Women & Feminism; Literature & Literary. Inventory No: 4767.
