The Notebooks of Thomas Wolfe: Volume I

Jacket Description/Flap: The notebooks of Thomas Wolfe constitute the most important body of Wolfe documents remaining to be published. The day-to-day jottings of a romantic of the world rather than the polished work of a critical literary intelligence, these notes are of primary significance in reconstructing Wolfe's life and works. The editors introduce each notebook with a short statement indicating where Wolfe was at the time, what he was working on, and what crucial situations had entered his life. The text is annotated, with footnotes and explanatory comments inserted in the text. This is Volume I of two volumes.
