From an author who kept notebooks throughout his career and died leaving one behind with over sixty ideas for future novels, this collection is from November 1878 to May 1911; "The only balm, and the only refuge, the real solution of the pressing question of life, are in this frequent, fruitful, intimate battle with the particular idea, with the subject, the possibility, the place"; edited by F. O. Matthiessen and Kenneth B. Murdock.
