{"value"=>"<p>Subseries \"A\" contains manuscript and typescript drafts of Chapters V, VI, VII, and VIII of Escape from Freedom (New York, Farrar & Rinehart, 1941); and drafts also in manuscript and typescript form of Man for Himself; An Inquiry into the Psychology of Ethics (New York and Toronto, Rinehart & Co., 1947). Neither work is complete in draft form. Chapter VII of Escape from Freedom is an early manuscript draft. The other chapters are in typescript. Included are manuscript notes by Fromm on the history of the concept of freedom. There are numerous incomplete drafts of chapters, sections, and parts of Man for Himself which illustrate the creative and editorial methods of the author. Many of the draft pages are in the form of manuscript emendations to a typewritten text. The text and pagination are frequently unclear or illegible and most of the drafts have numerous gaps in the texts and pagination. There are also numerous unsorted pages and fragments of texts present. There are, in addition, numerous notes and textual criticisms of portions of the manuscript in the hand of Patrick Mullahy whom Fromm acknowledged in the foreword of the book as having aided in the preparation of the manuscript.</p>"}
