"First published 1930."

" ..., taken together, these two plays - the one based on fact, the other mere fiction - represent two stages in our national history, the one a step up from the other. And it is Queen Victoria who, in her cool, precise way, takes the desirable step, inaugurating ... that Victorian age which made revolt (among women) so unfashionable. Revolt led into it, and revolt came out of it."--Preface.

Red cloth boards with cream cloth spine. Paper labels on spine and front cover.
