About this book
Writing schedules, scraps of paper and habits of revision become the subject of Hugo Erichsen's study of literary work. Drawing on letters from writers, newspaper clippings and earlier essays, he gathers accounts of how authors turn thoughts into finished pages. The opening moves from Madame de Staël's paper wand to Virgil's repeated corrections and Hobbes's habit of carrying a notebook on his walks.
The book compares personal routines across different kinds of literary work. In the section on working habits, Whittier favors morning composition, Philipp Galen prepares an outline, and W. D. Howells keeps manuscripts well ahead of publication. Chapters also cover writing speed, anonymity, literary partnerships and the health of writers.
