Rezensionen: Despite a title change, this new edition of Introductions East & West ( LJ 8/81) is not greatly revised over that original anthology of prefaces Merton wrote retrospectively for foreign translations of his works. Only a few prefaces here were not included in the first book, and except for some new letters on proposed translations, material in the appendixes is duplicated as well. Still, this may be appropriate for comprehensive Merton collections even if they include Introductions , and for libraries without the latter, it offers a fascinating glimpse at Merton's own evaluation of his work.
