Text as Process is about the literary work before it becomes a completed work of art. It is concerned with draft materials, with the manuscripts that constitute text in a state of process. What is text as process? And what should we, as readers, try to do with it?Bushells aim in Text as Process is to develop a research method for the study of compositional material. Although she draws on an international contextmainly French and German traditionsfor current approaches to textual criticism, hers is the first book to apply a new form of critical analysis to authors in the AngloAmerican tradition.Bushell revisits issues of intention within process and makes this the center of her new approach, employing 'case studies' of the work of three major nineteenthcentury poets: Wordsworth, Tennyson, and Dickinson. She applies her methodology to each writer in different ways, allowing for crosscomparison as well as the recognition of individual distinctiveness in creativity. In doing so, Bushell demonstrates the need for a unique hermeneutics in relation to the making of the literary work of art. The author concludes with a philosophical account of the status and meaning of the literary work as it comes into being.
