Summary

1. When scholar, poet, and teacher Hoyt H. Hudson died unexpectedly in 1944, he left three books in various stages of completion. This book is only a small portion of the book Hudson had planned. These four chapters, each in a separate folder, were found among his papers. The first three were marked "Finished." The fourth and last, while substantially complete for a good part, 'ended' with rough, unannotated draft paragraphs. It was deemed by a panel of his colleagues that to leave unpublished the work he had substantially completed would do him a great disservice. Thus, this edition by the Princeton University Press, which has been printed as the author left it.
