Discoveries (Robertson Davies)

Discoveries, published by McClelland and Stewart in 2002, is a collection of letters written by Canadian novelist Robertson Davies.

In Discoveries, editor Judith Skelton Grant provides a selection of letters written by Davies from the period starting in 1938 until 1975. The letters touch on various subjects in Davies' life, including (but not limited to) the publication of the Samuel Marchbanks books (1947 – 1967), The Salterton Trilogy (1951 – 1958, and The Deptford Trilogy (1970 – 1975), and the early days of Massey College.

Discoveries is the second collection of Davies' letters; the first, For Your Eye Alone, was published by McClelland and Stewart in 2000.
