Testament Of Youth Autobio Study 1900-25

A film tie-in edition of Vera Brittain's classic autobiography, Testament of Youth which is now a major motion picture adaptation starring Dominic West, Emily Watson, Alicia Vikander, Colin Morgan and Kit Harington.

In 1914 Vera Brittain was eighteen and, as war was declared, she was preparing to study at Oxford. Four years later her life - and the life of her whole generation - had changed in a way that was unimaginable in the tranquil pre-war era.

Testament of Youth, one of the most famous autobiographies of the First World War, is Brittain's account of how she survived the period; how she lost the man she loved; how she nursed the wounded and how she emerged into an altered world. A passionate record of a lost generation, it made Vera Brittain one of the best-loved writers of her time.
