About This Book

The final volume assembles letters and journal entries from the later phase of the author's life, arranged and edited by her husband, tracing a year-by-year sequence that combines travel accounts (notably a tour in Spain), reflections on literary projects and criticism, drafts and commentary on poems and novels, personal responses to illness and bereavement including the illness and death of a close companion, and the closing domestic events leading to her marriage and death. Interspersed editorial notes and contributions from others provide context, while illustrations and an index complete the volume.
