Revisions form a natural part of the writing process, but is the
concept of revision actually an intrinsic part of the formation of
the novel genre? Through the recovery and analysis of material from
novel manuscripts and post-publication revisions, Hilary Havens
identifies a form of 'networked authorship'. By tracing authors'
revisions to their novels, the influence of familial and literary
circles, reviewers, and authors' own previous writings can be
discerned. Havens focuses on the work of Samuel Richardson, Frances
Burney, Jane Austen, and Maria Edgeworth to challenge the
individualistic view of authorship that arose during the Romantic
period, and argues that networked authorship shaped the composition
of eighteenth-century novels. Exploring these themes of
collaboration and social networks, as well as engaging with the
burgeoning trend towards textual recovery, this work is an
important contribution in the study of eighteenth-century novels
and their manuscript counterparts.
