His convincing remapping of modernism, from Darwin to Beckett via Conrad, Proust, Woolf, Joyce, Kafka and Flann O’Brien, definitely splices textual genetics with cognitive studies, thus rendering an invaluable service to literary studies in general. * Jean-Michel Rabaté, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Pennsylvania, USA *\u003cbr\u003eThis learned, detailed and fascinating study of 'creative undoing' mines the works of Darwin, Joyce, Woolf, and Beckett to explore the processes by which revisions, deletions and substitutions shape the work of art. It will be of interest to a broad range of readers, specialist and non-specialist alike. * Dame Gillian Beer, DBE, King Edward VII Professor of English Literature and President, Clare Hall, University of Cambridge, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. ‘Avante-Texte': the Golden Age of Modern Manuscripts \\ 2.
