It is concerned with draft materials, with the manuscripts that constitute text in a state of process. What is text as process? And what should we, as readers, try to do with it?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBushell's aim in \u003ci\u003eText as Process\u003c\/i\u003e is to develop a research method for the study of compositional material. Although she draws on an international context--mainly French and German traditions--for current approaches to textual criticism, hers is the first book to apply a new form of critical analysis to authors in the Anglo-American tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBushell revisits issues of intention within process and makes this the center of her new approach, employing \"case studies\" of the work of three major nineteenth-century poets: Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Dickinson. She applies her methodology to each writer in different ways, allowing for cross-comparison as well as the recognition of individual distinctiveness in creativity. In doing so, Bushell demonstrates the need for a unique hermeneutics in relation to the making of the literary work of art. The author concludes with a philosophical account of the status and meaning of the literary work as it comes into being.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47585073660055,"sku":"9780813927749","price":7211.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780813927749.webp?v=1774958967","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/text-as-process-creative-composition-in-wordsworth-tennyson-and-dickinson-9780813927749","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
