Studies of the genesis of musical, literary, and theatrical works.
Not only the final outcome but the process of creative endeavor has
long attracted attention in various artistic disciplines, but only
recently has the potential of such research been seriously
explored. The most rigorous basis for the study of artistic
creativity comes not from anecdotal or autobiographical reports,
but from original handwritten sketches and drafts and preliminary
studies, as well as from revised manuscripts and typescripts,
corrected proof sheets, and similar primary sources. The term
"genetic criticism" or "critique genetique" relates not to the
field of genetics, but to the genesis of works of art, as studied
in a broad and inclusive context. The essays inthis volume explore
aspects of genetic criticism in an interdisciplinary context,
emphasizing music, literature, and theater. A common thread
pertains to the essential continuity between a work and its
genesis. This volume bringstogether essays from leading scholars on
subjects ranging from biblical scholarship to Samuel Beckett, and
from Beethoven's Eroica Symphony to very recent musical
compositions. Contributors: Nicolas Donin, Daniel Ferrer, Alan
Gosman, R. B. Graves, Joseph E. Jones, William Kinderman,
Jean-Louis Lebrave, Lewis Lockwood, Geert Lernout, Peter McCallum,
Armine Kotin Mortimer, and James L. Zychowicz William Kinderman is
Professor of Musicology at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign; Joseph E. Jones is visiting Assistant Professor
of Musicology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
