Bloomsbury, October 15 2020
Exploring draft manuscripts, alternative texts and publishers' typescripts, The Many Drafts of D. H. Lawrence reveals new insights into the writings and writing practices of one of the most important writers of the 20th-century. Focusing on the most productive years of Lawrence's writing life, between 1909 and 1926 – a time that saw the writing of major novels such as Women in Love and the controversial The Plumed Serpent, as well as his first major short story collection – this book is the first to apply ideas and methods from the field of genetic criticism to the archives of this canonical modernist author. By charting Lawrence's writing process the book also highlights how the very distinction between 'process' and 'product' became a central theme in his work.

This article studies the textual genesis of David Foster Wallace's short story 'The Depressed Person', introducing genetic criticism to Wallace studies.
