Tim Hunt's "The Textuality of Soulwork: Jack Kerouac's Quest for
Spontaneous Prose" examines Kerouac's work from a new critical
perspective with a focus on the author's unique methods of creating
and working with text. Additionally, "The Textuality of Soulwork"
delineates Kerouac's development of "Spontaneous Prose" to
differentiate the preliminary experiment of "On the Road" from the
more radical experiment of "Visions of Cody," and to demonstrate
Kerouac's transition from working within the textual paradigm of
modern print to the textual paradigm of secondary orality. From
these perspectives, Tim Hunt crafts a new critical approach to Beat
poetics and textual theory, marking an important contribution to
the current revival of Kerouac and Beat studies underway at
universities in the U.S. and abroad, as reflected by a growing
number of conferences, courses, and a renewal in scholarship.
