Excerpt from Lay Down Your Arms: The Autobiography of Martha Von Tilling When I was requested by the Committee of the International Arbitration and Peace Association, of which I have the honour to be a Member, to undertake the translation of the novel entitled Die Waffen Nieder, I considered it my duty to consent; and I have found the labour truly a delight. Baroness Suttner's striking tale has had so great a success on the Continent of Europe that it seems singular that no complete translation into English should yet have appeared. An incomplete version was published some time since in the United States, without the sanction of the authoress; but it gives no just idea of the work. Apart from its value as a work of fiction - great as that is - the book has a transcendent interest for the Society with which I am connected from its bearing on the question of war in general and of the present state of Europe in particular. We English-speaking people, whether in England, in the Colonies, or in the United States, being ourselves in no immediate danger of seeing our homes invaded, and our cities laid under contribution by hostile armies, are apt to forget how terribly the remembrance of such calamities, and the constant threat of their recurrence, haunt the lives of our Continental brethren.

This fictional autobiography concerns a female activist for peace and human rights; through the form of biography, peace activist Bertha von Suttner passionately advances her lifelong beliefs and passions. In using the name Martha von Tilling, Bertha von Suttner sought to widen the scope of the antiwar message while drawing a clear parallel to her life's work. By placing Martha at the forefront of the horrors of war and the destruction and terror that it brings, we are offered the raw and horrific truths of conflict. This book thus contains both the academic arguments in favor of pacifism and an abandonment of conflict as being a way forward for humanity, plus a horrific evocation of a visceral war and the bloody aftermath of battle. For years, Bertha von Suttner was at the forefront of campaigning for peace in Europe, meeting with government officials and speaking at prominent events. An adept orator, political journalist and organizer, it was by von Suttner's initiative that the concept of the Peace Conference was brought into being. Martha's final years were hectic and stressful - the governments of Europe were building enormous quantities of weapons and warships. Her difficulties were compounded by a diagnosis of cancer, from which she died in 1914, mere months before the outbreak of World War One.

Die Waffen nieder! (1889), translated into English in 1892 as Lay Down Your Arms, was an international bestseller. Its Austrian author Bertha von Suttner (1843-1914) chose the medium of fiction in order to reach as broad an audience as possible with her pacifist ideals. Challenging the narrow nationalisms of nineteenth-century Europe, Suttner believed that disputes between nations should be settled by means of arbitration rather than armed conflict. She devoted her life to campaigning for the cause of peace, and in 1905 became the first female recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Suttner’s influential novel yields insights into the early development of calls for a united Europe and an end to the arms race. This English translation of the novel was carried out as a ‘labour of love’ by the eminent Victorian surgeon and medical scholar Timothy Holmes (1825-1907), the editor of Gray’s Anatomy, for whom this was an unusual foray into the world of fiction. Holmes was Vice-Chairman of the London-based International Arbitration and Peace Association and a contemporary of Suttner. His translation helped to spread Suttner’s views across the Anglophone world, and contributed to the growth of the peace movement in the period before the First World War.
