Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Conquest: Or, A Piece of Jade (1917) is a drama in three acts by Marie Stopes. Although Stopes is more widely known as the author of Married Love or Love in Marriage, a bestselling work on contraception that guided generations of men and woman on how to nurture happy, healthy sexual relationships, she was also a gifted playwright and poet. Conquest: Or, A Piece of Jade, set in rural New Zealand and London, investigates themes of colonialism, pacifism, and romance. "But I answer you lads, what language do we speak? English! What race are we? Britons! Why, lads, the British over there aren't as British as we are; They are English and Scotch and Irish and Welsh-but what are we? All these British strains mixed! Most of us have some Scotch blood and some English blood and some Irish blood mixed in our veins, many of us have been to other parts of Britain and got a touch of Canada, or Australia, or South Africa into us." While working on their sheep farm in rural New Zealand, Gordon and Robert Hyde are visited by a military recruiter sent to gather men for the fight against Germany. Despite his patriotic fervor, Gordon is denied enlistment because of a pronounced limp. Left behind, emasculated and overwhelmed with guilt, he turns away from his romantic pursuit of Nora Lee to devote himself to political theory. Writing up plans for an international super-parliament with the help of Nora's cousin Loveday, Gordon dreams of presenting his ideas to the British government. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Marie Stopes' Conquest: Or, A Piece of Jade is a classic of British scientific literature reimagined for modern readers.
