    Notes During the early 1920s, Millay accepted a commission from the journal Vanity Fair to go to Europe and send regular articles twice a month under the pseudonym Nancy Boyd. Her reports as Nancy Boyd from Europe offer some ironic, at times satirical pictures of American tourists seeing the sights of Paris. By 10 December 1921 Millay was in Vienna after her sojourn in Paris, some adventures in Albania and a stay in Rome, and she planned to spend several months in the city. In early 1922, Dorothy Thompson had arranged with her a revision of her husband Josef Bard’s English translation of poems by the prominent Hungarian poet Endre Ady [Andrew Ady], which was jointly undertaken in Budapest and continued by Millay and Bard after Thompson had returned to Vienna for professional reasons. (see Zacharasiewicz, Transatlantic Networks, p. 43-44).
