For Your Eye Alone

For Your Eye Alone, published by McClelland and Stewart in 2000, is a collection of letters written by Canadian novelist Robertson Davies.

Editor Judith Skelton Grant provides a selection of letters written by Davies from the period starting in 1976 until 1995, the year of Davies' death. The letters touch on various subjects in Davies' life, including (but not limited to) the publication of The Cornish Trilogy (1981 – 1988), Murther and Walking Spirits (1991), The Cunning Man (1994), and Davies' next novel, which was never completed.

For Your Eye Alone is the first collection of Davies' letters; Discoveries was published by McClelland and Stewart in 2002.

Famous quotes containing the word eye:

    “It is very certain that each man carries in his eye the exact indication of his rank in the immense scale of men, and we are always learning to read it. A complete man should need no auxiliaries to his personal presence.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
