This article discusses the book "Selected Letters of Rebecca West," Bonnie Kime Scott. This plump selection, sumptuously produced and plushly upholstered with Scott's introduction and notes, is a first edition of which the writer Rebecca West would, have been proud. It is hard to come up with a woman writer of the past century who was more important in this regard. And the ante has been upped in the wake of the recent war in Kosovo. One would hardly exaggerate in describing the "Selected Letters of Rebecca West," as a biography of West and her times in letters.
