Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. SWASTIKA NIGHT takes place seven hundred years after Nazism achieved power, by which time Adolf Hitler is worshipped as a god. Elsewhere, the Japanese rule the Americas, Australia, and Asia. Though Japan is the only rival superpower to the Nazi West, their inevitable wars always end in stalemate. The fascist Germans and Japanese suffer much difficulty in maintaining their populations, because of the physical degeneration of their women. The protagonist is an Englishman named Alfred on a German pilgrimage. In Europe, the English are loathed because they were the last opponents of Nazi Germany in the war. Per official history, Hitler is a tall, blond god who personally won the war. Alfred is astounded when shown a secret, historic photograph depicting Hitler and a girl before a crowd. He is shocked that Hitler was a small man with dark hair and a paunch. And his discovery may mean his death. A classic of feminist predictive fiction finally returns to the light. 700 years after Hitler personally won the war, one man discovers the truth about his god. This remarkably prescient novel of the future under Nazism was published in 1937. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. Condición: Good+. 196pp Interesting feminist novel set in future fascist dystopia. Often compared to 1984. Only two faults are is a small round grease mark (or trace of a sticker?) to cover, and the free front endpape ris missing together with a thin layer of part of the paste down. The text is very clean.

8vo, pp. 196. Original red boards, spine and front board lettered in black. Poor-quality paper lightly toned. Boards a touch marked, spine discoloured and a little worn at ends. Ownership inscription of E. Benson, Leeds to rear pastedown dated Aug. 1940, ink inscription to front pastedown ?donated by Ernie Benson 1986? The Left Book Club edition of an important feminist dystopia, first published in 1937. Set 700 years after a Hitler victory in World War II when women have no rights or status save as childbearers, it anticipated both alternate history fiction about the war and the war itself, with this, second edition containing a publisher?s note outlining the author?s changes of opinion on the corruptive power of Nazism. Following this edition the novel was not republished until the Feminist Press edition of 1985, when the authorship of Katharine Burdekin (1896-1963) was established and its status has continued to grow since then - Darragh McManus wrote in The Guardian in 2009 that ?Swastika Night can be seen as a companion piece to Nineteen Eighty-Four, exploring the other side of the totalitarian coin with equal insight, prescience and humanity.? This copy belonged to Communist organiser and bookshop proprietor Ernie Benson, author of the 2-volume autobiography ?To Struggle is to Live?.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. First edition. Octavo. Blue cloth titled in white. A bit of soiling on the boards, some scattered foxing, white letters rubbed but readable, a very good copy lacking the dust jacket. Important feminist work of speculative fiction in which "Genuine Person" is hurtled back thousands of years from the future to the troubled world of 1930s England. Burdekin's books were favorably reviewed at the time, but they quickly fell into obscurity until the Feminist Press began to re-issue them in the U.S. (in 1993 for this particular title). Exceptionally scarce.

Condición: Very Good. Katharine Penelope Burdekin (1896-1963) is best known for her dystopian future fantasy 'Swastika Night' (1936) which she wrote under the pseudonym Murray Constantine. Bleiler and Locke between them list 6 titles by her -- mostly time travel (to the past and the future) future wars, visitors from other times, magical objects and supermen themes. Burdekin lived much of her later life in Suffolk with her companion Isabel Allen Burns. This short story is entitled in Katherine Burdekin's hand: "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's" is initialed in ink K P B and dated April 1921 'Sydney, NSW.' It consists of 10 typed foolscap pages clipped at the top corner and folded and the handwritten version in 7 pages all in KB's hand. The handwritten version has a few corrections but is substantially the same as the signed typed version. Each about 2000 words. The story is of two Irishmen who die at the same time - one is a Catholic priest (a cardinal) who is buried with great pomp and the other a Protestant and a Sergeant of the Royal Irish Constabulary shot dead on the steps of a church. They both show up at the gates of heaven and are interviewed by St Peter. They have to justify their lives and are unable to lie to St Peter. Only one is admitted into heaven and the other is refused(for the time being.) .Very well written and with great assurance with political, religious and supernatural themes. She had moved to Australia in 1920, where she started writing. Her first novel, Anna Colquhoun, was published in 1922.Her marriage ended in the same year, and she returned to England. This story is one of her earliest writings, possibly her first, and appears to have never been published. Very good. Signedes.

First edition. Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-287 [288], original blue cloth, spine stamped in dark blue. Important proto-feminist scientific romance. Burdekin's "best known novel examines a Nazi-dominated Europe 500 years hence through the eyes of the young German protagonist, who begins to understand that something is perhaps awry in a world where women are breeding-animals and Hitler is deified . a writer of considerable interest. Her work is at times surreptitiously couched, and her message is too often found embedded in romance-fiction plotting, but Burdekin can now be seen as a figure of contemporary interest." - Clute and Nicholls (eds), The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 175.

First edition, first impression, dedication copy, a wonderful association, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper to her friend and literary agent Margaret Goldsmith, "To Margaret, from Kay, November 3rd 1934", additionally signed as Murray Constantine on the title page, and with Goldsmith's name written out in Burdekin's hand beneath the dedication "To M.G.". This copy is presented together with a rough proof of the work. It was Margaret who, upon Burdekin falling into a bout of depression in 1938, gave her research material on Marie Antoinette to lift her out of her creative slump. This material invigorated Burdekin, and resulted in a historical novel, Venus in Scorpio credited to them both and published in 1940. Burdekin's pseudonym, adopted from 1934, was first revealed in the 1980s by feminist scholar Daphne Patai and her writing has since garnered serious academic interest. The Devil, Poor Devil! is a satirical fantasy about how the Devil's power is undermined by modern rationalism. Octavo. Original blue cloth, titles to spine in red. With dust jacket. Proof copy: Octavo. Original brown paper wrappers, titles to front wrapper in black. Board edges a little bumped and toned, rubbing to spine lettering, light offsetting to endpapers; a very good copy in the toned jacket, unclipped, spine browned, nicks to edges, a couple of small chips to head of spine. Proof copy: spine cocked and toned, a couple of light pencil marks to front wrapper, damp mark to foot of gutters to second half of book block.
