Jane dealt with some of her own concepts of time — one of them being, for instance, that the past has its own past, present, and future — in her novel, The Education of Oversoul Seven, published by Prentice-Hall, in 1973.

[...] I wrote Tam this morning, asking questions about what long-range plans Prentice-Hall may have for the 15 books Jane and I have sold to the company. [...]

[...] He identifies strongly with his work, so that there is often, however, a misunderstanding on his part, so that if you criticize, say, any portion of the work, or his handling of it with Prentice or whatever, he often takes that as a criticism of himself. [...]
