HARD BACK. Etat : Used; Good. Scarce. Left Book Club, Gollancz, London, 1940. Hardcover, 196pp. Red boards are fairly worn, spine sunned, scuffed and soiled (some dark spots on cover and a light splatter on back cover), but totally robust and completely clean inside. This copy screams: this book has been thoroughly read! Swastika Night is a cult feminist science fiction novel written by Katherine Burdekin, a British lesbian writer, published under the pen name Murray Constantine. It's described by Lucy Sussex as "A Handmaid's Tale with Nazis" which is not only apt but underlines how incredibly ahead of its time this novel is. This 1940 edition, which follows the first in 1937, includes a short prelude by the author in which, in what seems a moment of radical hopefulness, declares that "Nazism is too bad to be permanent", perhaps horrified by the fictional world that she created; one in which fascism becomes not only a political but a spiritual reality. Sussex says, " Swastika Night might not have entered popular consciousness, but remains among the best anti-Nazi novels." We would do well to remember Burdekin's words in regards of all forms of fascism: "[.] we must fight the Nazis in on land, at sea, in the air and in ourselves".…

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.
