Description

Jed Deppman, Daniel Ferrer, and Michael Groden, eds. Genetic Criticism: Texts and Avant-textes. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2004 vi + 258 pp. $SS U.S. cloth. Genetic Criticism: Texts and Avant-textes introduces the French revolution in textual criticism to the English-speaking world. Unlike traditional textual criticism, genetic criticism is not devoted to establishing a stable, published text that strictly follows only the authorial intention as its guiding principle. The book, an historical introduction and eleven translations of previously published essays, represents a new critical movement in France that seeks to discover new interpretive possibilities in the history of a given text, "turning manuscript study," as the dust jacket tells us, "into a recognized form of literary criticism." Genetic criticism explores the interpretive possibilities of what they call the It avant-texte," which, again, the dust-jacket blurb describes as 'a critical gathering of a writer's notes, sketches, drafts, manuscripts, typescripts, proofs, and correspondence," With the explicit goal of institutionalizing a critical movement, the introduction to the book provides an excellent account of the history or genesis of genetic criticism and the way it co-operates with other forms of literary analysis such as linguistics, psychoanalysis, socio-criticism, and deconstruction. What makes this book such a stimulating read is that it shows the way genetic criticism defers the material closure of a book or work and the effects of that deferral.
