"Genetic criticism is the study of authors' drafts and manuscripts, looking at all that is tried or discarded in the course of the creative process, along the way to a final text. [It] offers a variety of miniature chapters of argument and philosophy that serve to illuminate this controversial branch of literary criticism. Discussion moves from music to modernism, or from recipes to photography; Poe appears along with Ponge, and Delacroix not far from Hogarth.
