Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. First American Edition. 288 Pp. Violet Cloth, Gilt. First Edition Stated (First American Edition). Book Near Fine. Dust Jacket Worn, Small Tears And Losses. Hilda Stewart Reid (1898 - 1982) Was An English Novelist And Historian. Hilda Reid Was The Daughter Of Sir Arthur Hay Stewart Reid, A Judge In The Indian Legal Service, Whose Family Had Served In India For Several Generations. Sir Arthur And His Father, Henry Stewart Reid Of The Bengal Civil Service, Were Both Born In India. Hilda Reid's Mother, Agnes Imogen Beadon, Was The Sixteenth Child Of Sir Cecil Beadon, Who Was Lieutenant Governor Of Bengal From 1862 To 1866. Hilda Reid Took Her Undergraduate Degree At Somerville College Oxford, Where She Was A Member Of A Close-Knit Group Of Friends, Several Of Whom Went On To Have Distinguished Literary Careers. The Group Included Winifred Holtby, Margaret Kennedy, Vera Brittain, And Sylvia Thompson. Hilda Reid Remained Particularly Close, Personally And Professionally, To Both Winifred Holtby And Vera Brittain. In Her Autobiography Testament Of Youth, Vera Brittain Describes How Winifred Holtby Introduced Her To "Her Friend Hilda Reid, The Pale, Whimsical Second-Year Student Who Has Since Become, As H. S. Reid, The Author Of Exquisite Historical Novels, Delicately Etched With The Fine Pen Of A Literary Drypoint Artist". In Her Review Of Hilda Reid's First Novel In Time And Tide, Vera Brittain Wrote: "To The Generation That Went Down From Oxford Just Seven Years Ago, Miss H.S.Reid Was Known As An Ardent And Fastidious Historical Scholar, Blissfully Indifferent To The Anxieties And Rivalries Of An Examination System Which Offers Little Scope To An Imagination So Fine And So Constructive." Brittain Described Phillida In Her Review As "A Rare And Lovely Book". In Her Review Of Emily In The Schoolmistress, Winifred Holtby Wrote: "Her Two Earlier Books, Phillida And Two Soldiers And A Lady, Were Subtle And Scholarly Stories Of The Period After The Civil Wars. But In Emily She Looks At The Modern World, Which Is Giving So Much Trouble To Statesmen At Geneva. She Looks And She Laughs". An Article In Time And Tide, Describing Leading Women Writers Who Had Emerged From Oxford After The First World War, Described Hilda Reid As A Somervillian Who "Was Thought Much Of As A Poet By Her College, A Gentle, Dreamy, Delicate Creature, With Fair Fluffy Hair That Would Not Keep Tidy, And A Reputation For Brilliant And Fastidious Scholarship That Won Prizes But Could Not Win Alphas In Examinations. She Forgot Lectures, Roamed Mildly Between The Bodleian And Somerville, Scattering Books; And Went Down With A Fourth In History. But This Year When She Published Phillida, An Exquisite Study Of The Seventeenth Century - Gay With Polished Wit And Musical Phrases, Concrete And Authentic And Vividly Imagined, Those Few Who Had Read The Uncommon Promise Of Her Frugal Essays Said 'I Told You So. We Knew That Hilda Reid Could Write'". Of Two Soldiers And A Lady, The Reviewer In The Observer Wrote: "Scene And Costume Are Subordinated To Character, For The Interest One Feels In Miss Reid's Two Soldiers And The Lady Whom They Served Is Due To Them Individually And Not Their (Cromwellian) Period". The Review Concludes: "The Closely-Knit, Delicate Texture Of Miss Reid's Story Is As Satisfying As Her Sense Of Character". The Reviewer In Country Life Wrote: "This Is A Rare Book, Rare In The Historical Knowledge And Historical Sense That Informs It, And Rare In The Perception The Reader Gains From It." The Reviewer In The Manchester Guardian Wrote: "A Graceful Style And An Intimate Knowledge Of Seventeenth-Century England Are The Outstanding Features Of Miss Reid's Novel". The Reviewer In The New York Times Wrote: "The Strength Of The Book Lies In Its Abnegation. By Deliberate Concentration On What Might, At First Sight, Appear To Be Historically Of Least Importance The Author Has Succeeded In Reproducing The Spirit Of The Period - Which Determined The Events.".…
