The Weald of YouthSiegfried Sassoon, 1942SASSOON, Siegfried (1886-1967). The Weald of Youth. London: Faber and Faber, 1942.A presentation copy of the first edition of the second volume in Sassoon's autobiographical trilogy. Inscription laid down to front endpaper: “To Dear ‘Aunt Brazil Nut,’ from her loving nephew the author, more than 28 years after the meeting described in Chapter 16 of this book. Siegfried Sassoon.” With his aunt's note in the rear: “P.249 about me.” Mozelle Hyeem was Sassoon's aunt. Between 1938 and 1945 Sassoon wrote about his early life first in the semi-autobiographical Sherston trilogy and then in this series. The first volume, The Old Century and Seven More Years (1938), reflects on his childhood and education through university. This, the second, explores his young adulthood and beginning of his literary career in London. The third, Siegfried’s Journey 1916-1920 (1945), takes a more somber tone as Sassoon comments on some of his time in the war and its lasting effects. Octavo. Half title, frontispiece. Original blue cloth (small chip to foot of spine, corners lightly bumped). Provenance: Mozelle Hyeem (bookplate and authorial inscription).
