Ross Wetzsteon's Republic of Dreams: Greenwich Village: The American Bohemia, 1910–1960 was published four years after the author's death. Perhaps he hadn't completely checked his manuscript over before he died, but certainly one obvious error is his assumption – no doubt fed by the bisexual Edna St Vincent Millay's fierce defence of her – that Wylie was excluded from the League of American Penwomen because she was a lesbian.
