书籍简介

想象一下，站在您喜欢的作家的肩膀上，见证他们开始撰写他们喜爱的小说的开篇章节。 你可能会看到，作者多次书写、删减和重写他们的文字，才能找到正确的形式。 发掘被抛弃、移动或编辑的内容可以让我们对创作过程有宝贵的见解。 编辑决定记录在图书馆和档案馆保存的大量文学手稿、笔记本和信件中。 如果玛丽和珀西雪莱没有合作起草草案，弗兰肯斯坦会是什么样子？ 如果《柳林风声》的标题仍然是“鼹鼠与水鼠”，我们会对它有不同的看法吗？ 这本插图丰富的书邀请您探索这些未曾走过的道路，发现那些未曾出现在出名小说、诗歌和戏剧中的想法。 通过深入了解简·奥斯汀、克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂、雷蒙德·钱德勒、塞缪尔·贝克特、弗朗茨·卡夫卡、约翰·勒卡雷、艾伦·贝内特、芭芭拉·皮姆、菲利普·普尔曼和爱丽丝·奥斯瓦尔德等作家的起草技巧，本书以引人入胜的方式揭开了这些谜团。 写作、剪辑、重写和出版杰出的创意作品。

Imagine looking over the shoulder of your favourite author and witnessing the moment they begin writing the opening chapter of their best-loved novel. What you might see is that the author has to write, cut and rewrite their words, often many times, in order to find the right form. Unearthing what has been jettisoned, moved or edited can give us valuable insights into the creative process. Editorial decisions are documented in an extraordinary number of literary manuscripts, notebooks and letters preserved in libraries and archives. What would Frankenstein have looked like if Mary and Percy Shelley had not collaborated on the draft? Would we view The Wind in the Willows differently if its title had remained ‘The Mole & the Water Rat’? This highly illustrated book invites you to explore these roads-not-taken and discover ideas which did not make it into renowned novels, poems and plays. With insights into the drafting techniques of writers as varied as Jane Austen, Christina Rossetti, Raymond Chandler, Samuel Beckett, Franz Kafka, John le Carré, Alan Bennett, Barbara Pym, Philip Pullman and Alice Oswald, this is a fascinating unveiling of the mysteries of writing, cutting, rewriting and publishing exceptional creative works.
