SWASTIKA NIGHT.
London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1937. Octavo, pp. [1-4] 5-287 [288], original blue cloth, spine stamped in dark blue. First edition. 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 printing, first binding. "Fin-de-siecle historical romances, decadent and stylishly morbid in tone. A protege of W. E.

Work recently revived by Hugh Lamb in his Victorian ghost anthologies. An uncommon, much-sought title." - Robert Knowlton.
