Summary: "Literary drafts are a constant in literatures of all ages and linguistic areas, and yet their role in writing processes in various traditions has seldom been the subject of systematic comparative scrutiny. In 38 chapters written by leading experts in many different fields, this book charts a comparative history of the literary draft in Europe and beyond. It is organised according to eight categories of comparison distributed over the volume's two parts, devoted respectively to 'Text' (i.e. the textual aspects of creative processes) and 'Beyond Text' (i.e. aspects of creative processes that are not necessarily textual). Across geographical, temporal, linguistic, generic and media boundaries, to name but a few, this book uncovers idiosyncrasies and parallels in the surviving traces of human creativity while drawing the reader's attention to the materiality of literary drafts and the ephemerality of the writing process they capture"--PPN: PPN: 1919909222Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
