Item description from seller

1955. First edition limited to 1,000 copies of which this is copy No. 292. xvii, 76pp., a frontispiece portrait of Winifred Holtby and 8 other black and white illustrations. Winifred Holtby (1898-1935) was an English novelist and journalist. She is probably best known for her novel South Riding, which was posthumously published in 1936. After the First World War, she returned to study at the University of Oxford where she met Vera Brittain, a fellow student with whom she maintained a lifelong friendship. Holtby was, together with Brittain, an ardent feminist, socialist and pacifist. As well as her journalism, Holtby wrote 14 books, including six novels; two volumes of short stories; and the first critical study of Virginia Woolf. This selected bibliography of Winifred Holtby's writings also contains letters written to her governess and a foreword by Vera Brittain. The book is bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and front board. The case of the book is in very good condition with some shelf wear to the boards and bumping to the spine ends. The titling on the spine is worn. The contents are tight and clean with partial browning to the free endpapers. The front free endpaper has been flat signed by Vera Brittain.…
