- Notes:
- "Edmund Wilson was working on 'The Twenties' at the time of his death in 1972 ... Since he did not live to complete the book, it lacks the full personal gloss of his earlier volumes. His instructions were that he should be edited with a light hand. I have filled in such historical information as might be useful, and Edmund's correspondence has thrown light on specific passage"--Editor's Foreword.
