Ten years in the making, Under the Volcano is the best-known work
of writer Malcolm Lowry. Published first in 1947, it is a
brilliant, moving, and complex novel, perhaps the last fictional
masterpiece to emerge from the modernist movement.As the years went
by, Lowry's obsessive rewriting took him further and further into
his book, which changed relatively little in the outer semblance of
action and main characters but became utterly transformed in
texture from the thin and mediocre version of 1940 to the rich
tapestry of 1947. The numerous manuscripts allow a look at the
processes by which Lowry created not only his masterwork but also
his own reputation as a modernist genius. This study offers an
extended examination of individual drafts as the novel slowly
developed and, in a final chapter, an appraisal of the implications
of Lowry's revisions for the book as published, an appraisal that
suggests bases for new readings of Under the Volcano.
