War Without Glamour
or
Women's War Experiences Written by Themselves
1899-1902
Historical Records Collected and Translated
by
Emily Hobhouse
Hard Cover (No Dust Jacket)
Published by Nasionale Pers Beperk, Bloemfontein. 1924.
1st Edition
158 Pages.
Book is in good condition. Clean inside, coming away slightly on the front cover. Please see pictures.
This is a good copy of a rare and valuable book - valuable not only because it was the author's last published work (she died two years later) or because it contains the stories of some thirty women affected by the war (about half in the survivors' original English and the other half in Dutch translated or, in one case, written from dictation by Emily Hobhouse), but also because it includes three of the author's exceptionally talented 1903 watercolour paintings, reproduced in colour and tipped into the book. There are also a further half-dozen inserted b/w plates.
There's no obvious explanation why the book was published so long after the end of the war. Perhaps Miss Hobhouse did not finish the work. Perhaps she could not find another publisher sooner (Nasionale Pers was certainly not a mainstream London publisher, though equally certainly it was a publisher very committed to the book's subject-matter).
