The twentieth century has been called 'the golden age of the modern
manuscript,' a time when the historical value of early manuscripts
as a record of a writer's thought processes came to be fully
recognized. Drawing on the critical tools of French genetic
criticism, Modern Manuscripts explores the development of early
20th century literary texts, from source texts and early notes,
through successive draft manuscripts to publication and successive
editions. Historicizing these modernist processes of writing, Dirk
Van Hulle contrasts these twentieth century manuscripts with the
development of Charles Darwin's text for On the Origin of Species,
itself a formative intellectual influence on modern writing.
Exploring the writings of such writers as Joyce, Woolf and Beckett,
this is an important study that will open up new avenues of thought
for scholars of Modernist literature, material culture and book
history.
