Selected and introduced by scholar Jane Marcus, this anthology gathers the early journalism, criticism, and essays Rebecca West produced between the ages of nineteen and twenty-five — a period in which she argued passionately for women's suffrage, dissected the literary establishment with surgical precision, and announced herself to the world as a writer utterly unwilling to be ignored. The pieces collected here crackle with the wit, fury, and intellectual daring that would define West's long career, from her devastating takedowns of H.G. Wells to her unflinching feminist polemics in publications such as *The Freewoman* and *The New Statesman*.\n\nMarcus's authoritative introduction situates these writings within the turbulent social and political landscape of pre-war and wartime Britain, illuminating how West's radical thought was shaped by — and in turn helped shape — the suffragette movement and the modernist literary revolution unfolding around her. West's prose style, even in its earliest incarnation, is marked by a ferocious clarity and an aphoristic confidence that leaves little room for equivocation. For readers who know West only through her later masterworks, this volume reveals the blazing origins of a singular intelligence — and raises the irresistible question of what other hidden fires she had yet to unleash.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336819941595,"sku":"2026200016393-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/537ccd77-242f-4bd7-bdc3-2576c59a8d2a.png?v=1789958895","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016393-secondhand-the-young-rebecca-writings-of-rebecca-west-1911-1917","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
