By examining the creative process behind literary works through drafts, manuscripts and revisions, this book reveals how narratives are shaped in real time.Through diverse case studies—from Charlotte Brontë to Stephen King—this collection demonstrates how the material processes of writing influence narrative structure, pacing, and even the ‘untold’. By integrating genetic criticism with narratological methods, contributors explore how stories evolve, providing fresh insights into time, space, character, and suspense.Bridging the gap between the production and reception of texts, this volume makes a compelling case for incorporating genetic methods into broader narratological frameworks, enhancing not only our understanding of the genesis of literary works, ultimately enriching the reading experience, but also our awareness of the ways we narrativise this genesis.The book will be of interest to students and researchers alike, offering a new set of tools for analysing narrative across different versions. 04 00 Acknowledgments Notes on Contributors 1.
