Bringing the collaborative process to life through an array of
examples, Heather Witcher shows that sympathetic co-creation is far
more than the mere act of writing together. While foregrounding the
material aspects of collaboration - hands uniting on the page,
blank space left for fellow contributors, the writing and
exchanging of drafts - this study also illuminates its social
aspects and its reliance on Victorian liberalism: dialogue, the
circulation of correspondence, the lived experience of
collaboration, and, on a less material plane, transhistorical
collaborations with figures of the past. Witcher takes a broad
approach to these partnerships and, in doing so, challenges
traditional expectations surrounding the nature of authorship
itself, not least its typical classification as a solitary
activity. Within this new framework, collaboration enables the
titles of 'coauthor,' 'influencer,' 'editor,' 'critic,' and
'inspiration' to coexist. This book celebrates the plurality of
collaboration and underscores the truly social nature of
nineteenth-century writing.
