  • Testament of Youth Is a 2014 British Film Basen the First World War
    Testament of Youth is a British drama film released in 2014 and based on the First World War memoirs written by Vera Brittain. “They'll want to forget you. They'll want me to forget. But I can't. I won't. This is my promise to you now. All of you.” Vera Brittain This film retraces the story of Vera Brittain during the first world war. Her life before the war started and her experiences during the war are fabulously interpreted by Alicia Vikander. The actors Kit Harington, Taron Egerton and Colin Morgan also make her story even more touching. Vera wants to become a writer even if it goes against her father's expectations. She passes the entrance examination for Oxford to join her brother Edward and his friends Roland and Victor. Before going there, with Roland, who shares his interest for her poetry and writing, they begin a romance. But war is declared and it changes all their plans. Roland, Victor and her brother decide to join the British army and are sent to the western front. To get closer to them Vera decides to volunteer as nurse in the hospital... This film is really emotional. It shows how war can affect people, not only physically but a lso mentally. War destroys families, innocence and future. As Vera Brittain said : “Our generation would never be new again. Our youth has been stolen from us.” The fact that she really lived those moments makes you watch the film in a different way and that is one of the reasons why I liked this film and why I recommend it..

  • Vera Brittain and Madeleine Clemenceau Jacquemaire’S Interwar Nurse Memoirs
    Myth, Countermyth and the Politics of Memory: Vera Brittain and Madeleine Clemenceau Jacquemaire’s Interwar Nurse Memoirs Alison Fell University of Leeds Synergies Royaume-Uni Royaume-Uni Summary: This article examines the interwar memoirs written by two First-World-War nurses: Testament of Youth (1933) by British VAD Vera Brittain, and Les Hommes de bonne volonté (1919) by Madeleine Clemenceau 11-22 pp. Jacquemaire, daughter of the French prime minister and Red Cross nurse. It et explores the ways in which these authors challenge the dominant stereotypes Irlande (both positive and negative) of the nurse prevalent during the war, before outlining the alternative images – or countermyths – that they construct in n° 4 their own autobiographical writings. It argues that both authors make use of their nursing experiences as a means of endowing themselves with veteran - 2011 status, thereby allowing them access to the almost exclusively male genre of war writing that gained in popularity during the interwar years. The article concludes that because of the double status of these women, who were both active participants in and passive witnesses to the war, their narratives remain necessarily ambiguous. This reflects more generally the uncomfortable position – between combatant and non-combatant status – in which many female war workers found themselves. Keywords: war, nurse, Brittain, Clemenceau Jacquemaire, interwar, memoir Résumé : Cet article examine les mémoires de l’entre-deux-guerres écrits par deux infirmières de la Première Guerre mondiale : Testament of Youth (1933) de Vera Brittain, VAD (infirmière bénévole) britannique et Les Hommes de bonne volonté (1919) de Madeleine Clemenceau Jacquemaire, fille du premier ministre français et infirmière de la Croix-Rouge.

  • Testament of Youth by Juliette Towhidi Based on the Autobiography Of
    Testament of Youth by Juliette Towhidi Based on the autobiography of Vera Brittain Salmon Revision 21.04.14 1 CLOSE ON - The face of VERA (24); her expression is watchful, uncertain. Around her, the muffled, distorted sounds of street celebrations. She has striking features, expressive of great intelligence, yet tired by experiences beyond her years. Suddenly, SOUND comes CRASHING IN - - Vera is on a London street thronging with merrymakers. A swell of revellers push past, sweeping her away with them. A caption: London, 11th November 1918. 1 EXT. LONDON STREET - EVENING (WINTER) 1 In the enfolding gloom of evening, Vera is BUFFETED in the crowd; people wave flags, swig from bottles, sit astride each other’s shoulders. Vera mingles in the crowd but seems isolated, as though in a separate bubble. The sound cuts in and out, as though she’s having trouble connecting. 2 EXT. LONDON STREET - EVENING 2 Vera is moving through the throng, having to elbow her way, overwhelmed by the densely packed bodies - The noise still CUTS in and out - as a sudden loud ROAR crashes in on her - She gasps, turns - to see a MOTOR CAR, spilling over with revellers. A WOMAN sits on top swigging from a champagne bottle. A YOUNG SOLDIER, his head bandaged, sees Vera, and leaps out. He grabs her hands, pulling her into a hectic dance, as others around them dance too. Vera SPINS!...dizzy, as faces fly past her - She’s trapped, the panic rises - she BREAKS FREE - - Pushes through the crowd, desperate to escape, elbowing, annoying people - She sees some church steps ahead of her, and stumbles up them.

  • Reflections on the History and Identity of the Former Women's Colleges1
    Winner of the 2014 Herbert Salter History Prize at The History of Oxford Colleges Conference Trinity College Oxford, 15 November 2014 www.historyofoxford.com Reflections on the History and Identity of the Former Women’s Colleges 1 Alice Prochaska 2 Abstract This paper will consider the various founding principles of the women’s colleges at Oxford in the social and cultural context of their times: the secular and the religious variations; and the ways in which opposition to women’s education in the late nineteenth century and onwards influenced the early conduct of these colleges. Academic recognition and high standards came to matter at least as much as the simple fact of providing a university education to this excluded part of the population. As Oxford colleges became co-educational in the third quarter of the twentieth century, the identity of the former women’s colleges changed, and too often their public image suffered in relation to the perceived glamour and architectural splendour of the ancient colleges. And yet, in at least some cases, these colleges produced an exceptional roster of world-famous and nationally famous alumnae. The question of female fame will be addressed, along with some reflections on what the former women’s colleges represent in modern Oxford, and whether they have a continuing special role. 1 To reference this paper: Prochaska, A. 2014. “Reflections on the History and Identity of the Former Women’s Colleges”, Paper presented at The History of Oxford Colleges Conference , Trinity College Oxford, 15 November 2014. www.historyofoxford.com 2 Principal, Somerville College, University of Oxford 1 | P a g e When I was invited by Daniel Valentine to speak at this conference, I was delighted to have the opportunity to make a contribution, and I felt that it would be a great pity if the history of the women’s colleges did not have a place in the day’s programme.
