Paperback. Condizione: New. Twenty (1918) is a poetry collection by Stella Benson. Largely recognized for her work as an activist in the women's suffrage movement and for her popular novels, Benson was also an accomplished poet. Twenty, her debut volume, is a collection indebted to symbolism in which Benson reflects on her experiences as a young woman in a rapidly changing world. In "The Secret Day," Benson muses on the impossibility of peace in a time that refuses to slow: "My yesterday has gone, has gone and left me tired, / And now to-morrow comes and beats upon the door / [.] / So I have built To-day, more precious than a dream; / And I have painted peace upon the sky above." Responding to the horrors of a decade torn by war, Benson does what she can to maintain her own personal calm, to build a safe space apart from the world. In "Redneck's Song," she laments the years of her life spent obeying "the laws of men / Who worshipped law," declaring instead that "Those laws are dust / To-day." In these poems shaped by her experience as an activist and pioneering feminist, the personal is inseparable from the political. Benson's identity, her present and her future, depend on this revolutionary thrust-no longer will she "shut [her] eyes" and "hold [her] tongue." It may be "their path," but she will make her own "groove," her own way through life. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Stella Benson's Twenty is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Living Alone (1919) is a novel by Stella Benson. Considered a pioneering work of fantasy fiction, Living Alone is a story of magic set in London during the First World War. Benson's meditative, diaristic prose guides the reader alongside her protagonist, a young woman introduced to a world of witchcraft and wizardry at "the House of Living Alone." "Nothing else happened in that room. At least nothing more important than the ordinary manifestations attendant upon magic. The lamp had tremulously gone out. Coloured flames danced about the Stranger's head. One felt the thrill of a purring cat against one's ankles, one saw its green eyes glare. But these things hardly counted." Guided by her political commitments, Sarah Brown dedicates herself to charity work during the First World War. When a witch invites her to stay in a mysterious home, Sarah embarks on the adventure of a lifetime with her loyal dog David. Described by its author in playfully mysterious terms-"This is not a real book."-Living Alone is a unique and haunting masterpiece that looks upon a tumultuous historical period with fresh perspective, presenting a story of growth and identity in an intoxicating world of magic and mystery. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Stella Benson's Living Alone is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Paperback. Condizione: New. This Is the End (1917) is a novel by Stella Benson. Based on the author's experience in the movement for women's suffrage, This Is the End is a story of identity and social class set in the London neighborhood of Hackney. As Jay attempts to break from her restrictive past, her brother Kew returns from the First World War scarred by his experiences and disillusioned with life at home. Benson's meditative, diaristic prose guides the reader along the paths of change and confrontation faced by her protagonists, immersing them in the tumultuous decade in which the novel was written. "This is the end, for the moment, of all my thinking, this is my unfinal conclusion. There is no reason in tangible things, and no system in the ordinary ways of the world. Hands were made to grope, and feet to stumble, and the only things you may count on are the unaccountable things. System is a fairy and a dream, you never find system where or when you expect it. There are no reasons except reasons you and I don't know." Guided by a philosophical sense of the world, Jay-formerly Jane Elizabeth-longs to escape the confines of her life in the countryside. Without telling her family, she leaves for London and adopts a new identity, exposing herself for the first time in her life to the rhythms of working-class existence. When her brother Kew returns from the Great War and fails to find her at home, he comes to the city in search of his sister. Bonded by tragedy, the two orphans grow to respect one another as adults, both of them scarred in their own way by the expectations placed on young men and women in a decade of tremendous cultural change. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Stella Benson's This Is the End is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
