paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Paperback. Storm Jameson, Virago. Condition remarks: Condition: Good. Jacket: N/A (paperback). Page Condition: Good. Markings: No visible markings. Binding: Intact. No stickers or labels visible. A landmark work of twentieth-century autobiography, Journey from the North Vol. 1 chronicles the remarkable life of Storm Jameson, one of Britain's most prolific and underappreciated literary figures of the interwar period. Born in the Yorkshire port town of Whitby, Jameson details her hardscrabble upbringing in a seafaring family, her fierce pursuit of education, and her determined entry into the male-dominated world of London letters. Written with candour, intelligence, and a sharp political conscience, this memoir presents an intimate portrait of a woman navigating the turbulent social and cultural upheavals of early twentieth-century Britain. Jameson's prose is vivid and unsparing, illuminating not only her personal struggles but also the broader landscape of European literary and intellectual life between the two World Wars. An essential read for anyone interested in feminist literary history, working-class origins, and the making of a writer. Paperback.…

[LETTER 1] Four pages, 8vo, good condition. Text: "Your letter has just reached me here - a few minutes ago. I am so happy to have it, & to know that Vol 1 of Journey from the North ga=ve you some pleasure (if also some pain). I hesitated a long time before publishing it, & perhaps I'd have left it at the back of the cupboard in my room but for a base reason - needingmoney. But, too, I realised that such a bulky manuscript would be only an embarrassment to my heirs. | It is not politenes that makes me thank you for your letter, it is sincere happines. You will believe that. " She explains why she might not go to Whitby again, discussing her brother's memorial tablet and its manufacture, suggesting that, if he went to Whitby, he could look at it for her. "I wonder if Archie [White?former 'roommate' in Cambridge] really will move to Bristol. If he did I'd be tempted to move there myself. I have the greatest respect & affection for him. | We return to Cambridge next week - the strike permitting [.]". [LETTER 2] Three pages, 8vo, good condition, concerning her friend ("room-mate") Archie, his last day's activity, her expectation he'd live forever, news of other old friends, thanks for Oulton visiting her brother's memorial in Whitby, reflections on her father whom she didn't love, concluding: "I think too he was as happy in his solitude as he was capable of happiness. A sea captain is formed by solitude - or was, in the old days of long slow voyages." Note: "Written between 1961 and 1965, with the Cold War at its height, Journey from the North, across its two substantial volumes, marked an attempt by Jameson to reappraise her life during hard times, personally and politically. With her literary work being critically ignored, her finances were in turmoil; she felt keenly, meanwhile, that the postwar world had failed to realize its promise in terms of tackling poverty, capitalist greed and the impact of war. Out of despair and a desire to take stock of the roles she had assumed in her life to date as dutiful daughter, socialist advocate, human rights trailblazer, advocate for refugees, attentive spouse, mother and aunt she was driven to write this lengthy work of introspection. Intended as a private exercise, it was published at the end of the decade in two volumes by Collins and Harvill." [TLS].…
