The introduction begins with a personal statement on the author’s familiarity with Matthiessen and his work. A collection of Matthiessen’s work is seen as a timely, desirable and indeed necessary enterprise. This is followed by an overview on Matthiessen’s major contributions to the field and a brief assessment of the outstanding quality of his work on language and related areas over a considerable time.
