More, Paul Elmer. Pages from an Oxford Diary. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1937.Preface:"In the years 1924-1925 I was abroad with my family and my brother's family. For a number of months I was left at Oxford alone. It was during this time that I wrote out these notes. I disguised their source by pretending that they were taken from the diary of an actual Oxford don. I need not say that I myself never had any official connection with the University. The notes, though fictitious in their setting, were the transcription of a very real experience of my own."Princeton, New JerseyFebruary 23, 1937Note: Paul Elmer More died two weeks after writing this.
