2,500 items, Madigan's gracefully written introduction, a chronology, a
bibliography, a calendar of letters, 11 photographs, and notes on
'notable recipients' (including Cather,
Du Bois, Albert Einstein, Robert Frost, and E. B. White). The
scholarship evident in this book makes it gratifying; Fisher's
voice makes it a joy."--American Literary
Scholarship

beautifully produced and a joy to read."--Vermont
Life
"Mark Madigan has prepared an outstanding edition. His
introduction is a model of its kind: clearly organized,
informative, gracefully written, it provides essential
biographical information, suggests his estimate of Fisher's
importance, and sets her within cultural as well as literary
context. . . . Fisher is one of those writers destined for a
breakthrough in the scholarship, and Mark Madigan's edition of
letters is just the thing to make that breakthrough happen."--
