About This Item
1918. WEST, Rebecca. THE RETURN OF THE SOLDIER. With Illustrations by Norman Price. New York: The Century Co., 1918. First edition of the author's first novel, precedes English edition. There is some light foxing on the preliminaries and soil at the edges. The boards are moderately soiled. In all this is a very good copy.
Synopsis
Writing her first novel during World War I, West examines the relationship between three women and a soldier suffering from shell-shock. This novel of an enclosed world invaded by public events also embodies in its characters the shifts in England's class structures at the beginning of the twentieth century.
