    Abstract:
    Full article here: https://hcommons.org/deposits/item/hc:48025/ A series of sketches written in 1924 during an ocean crossing from New York to Tilbury, "Passage to England" was published only in 1998 by the Thomas Wolfe Society and is hardly Wolfe’s most popular or most accomplished work. Nonetheless I always felt that Passage to England had something unique and idiosyncratic and that despite a certain amount of editing it was arguably more genuinely Wolfean than his later and more renowned works. As a matter of fact, while the text possesses such characteristic traits as a fragmented narrative form, an interweave of reality and fiction, and the lack of a definite plot, it also tackles and anticipates a whole series of ideas and issues that Wolfe would deal with, albeit to a lesser extent, in subsequent books.
