Preliminary notes of one type or another exist for The Miller of Old Church, Barren Ground, The Romantic Comedians, They Stooped to Folly, Vein of Iron, In This Our Life, and Beyond Defeat, as well as for Virginia. See William W. Kelly, Ellen Glasgow: A Bibliography (1964), pp. 238-295.

Beyond Defeat, ed. Luther Y. Gore (1966).

See especially Fredrick P. W. McDowell, Ellen Glasgow and the Ironic Art of Fiction (1960), pp. 111-126; and Monique Parent, Ellen Glasgow, Romanciere (1962), pp. 291-292.

Parent, p. 292.

Listed as Notebook 2 in Kelly, p. 215.

I originally listed these pages as possibly part of Notebook 2 (Kelly, p. 216), but clearly they are not, since it is clear that there are no pages missing from Notebook 2. These pages are now filed in the Alderman Library as "Notebook #8".

I would like to thank the University of Virginia Research Committee, which gave me some needed financial help in the early stages of preparing this edition. I would also like to thank my friend, Anne Freudenberg of the Manuscripts Division of the Alderman Library, who helped me decipher some particularly obscure readings.
