Description

Discover how editors shape literary masterworks in this groundbreaking study by Tim Groenland. The Art of Editing examines the often-invisible role of editors in acquiring, developing and disseminating fiction, challenging the critical focus on solitary authorship. Through close analysis of works by Raymond Carver and David Foster Wallace - two stylistic touchstones of contemporary American fiction - Groenland reveals the intricate publishing history and archival evidence that demonstrate editorial influence on major literary works. This Bloomsbury Academic publication provides essential insight into how professional editing shapes the novels and stories readers encounter, making it invaluable for literary scholars, editors, students of literature and anyone interested in understanding the collaborative nature of published fiction.

Key Features

The Art of Editing focuses on Raymond Carver and David Foster Wallace to illuminate editorial practices in shaping contemporary American fiction.

Groenland combines publishing history with archival research to demonstrate how editors acquire, develop and disseminate literary works.

This Bloomsbury Academic title challenges conventional literary criticism that overlooks editors in favour of celebrating individual authors.

The book reveals the collaborative processes behind major novels and short stories, offering valuable context for literary analysis and publishing studies.
