- Notes:
- "First edition, 1986."
- "Edmund Wilson kept his diaries and journals of the fifties with much greater regularity and in a more systematic way than during his earlier years. Age and domestication, regularity of habits and fewer wanderings, contributed to this ... The manuscripts comprising the present volume are a mixture of neatness and scribble."--Editor's Foreword.
