Abstract:
This thesis examines the contribution of Gordon Lish and Michael Pietsch to key works of
Raymond Carver and David Foster Wallace, respectively. The Prologue situates the two
authors in a historical framework, considering the reception of their work in the context
of the prevalent Minimalist narrative model of 1980s U.S. fiction and the subsequent
return to a more expansive, maximal aesthetic. Chapter One then explores the role of the
editor from a theoretical and historical perspective, detailing the practical requirements
of the editing process and examining the tensions inherent within it. This is followed by
the introduction of theoretical perspectives (textual and genetic criticism) that focus on
textual process rather than product and whose critical vocabulary is suited to the study of
manuscript evidence.
