Book Description

Providing a broad, definitive account of how the ‘archival tu’ in humanities scholarship has shaped modeist studies, this book also functions as an ongoing ‘practitioner’s toolkit’ (including useful bibliographical resources) and a guide to avenues for future work. Archival work in modeist studies has revolutionised the discipline in the past two decades, fuelled by innovative and ambitious scholarly editing projects and a growing interest in fresh types of archival sources and evidence that can re-contextualise modeist writing. Several theoretical trends have prompted this development, including the focus on compositional process within genetic manuscript studies, the emphasis on book history, little magazines, and wider publishing contexts, and the emphasis on new material evidence and global and ‘non-canonical’ authors and networks within the ‘New Modeist Studies’. This book provides a guide to the variety of new archival research that will point to fresh avenues and connect the methodologies and resources being developed across modeist studies. Offering a variety of single-author case studies on recent archival developments and editing projects, including Samuel Beckett, Hart Crane, H.D., James Joyce, Dorothy Richardson, May Sinclair and Virginia Woolf, it also offers a range of thematic essays that examine an array of underused sources as well as the challenges facing archival researchers of modeism
