"The present volume of the Cambridge edition includes all public writings from Fitzgerald's literary apprenticeship--that is, all works that he prepared for print. The volume does not include
three play scripts that he wrote for summer productions by the Elizabethan Dramatic Club, a local theatre group in St. Paul, nor does it include such writings as his adolescent "Thoughtbook," a
diary of sorts that he kept during his thirteenth and fourteenth years, or the surviving fragments of "The Romantic Egotist," his first attempt at a novel. None of these writings was published
during Fitzgerald's lifetime; all of them are available today in reliable scholarly editions"--Provided by publisher.
