His posthumous publications have also been unusual. In , only five years after his death, e Collected Works of Northrop Frye began to appear, and they began where the collected works of other writers tend to end, with volumes of letters, diaries, and notebooks. Scholarly editions of the Anatomy and Fearful Symmetry are now in active preparation, but even before they are printed Frye’s readers have access to his personal reflections about these and other books. Such readers, whose interests include religion and culture as well as literature, are fortunate indeed. Nietzsche’s readers had to wait almost seventy years after his death for a scholarly edition of the Nachgelassene Fragmente, to which Frye makes reference, having had first to deal with his sister’s selective arrangement in Der Wille zur Macht. Jung’s readers have still to see most of his Rotbuch or any of his Schwarzbuch, access to which has been blocked by heirs and given only recently to the Philemon Foundation.

诺斯罗普·弗莱的文学生涯被证明是大多数规则的例外。在加拿大期刊上发表了几篇早期文章后,他的第一本书《可怕的对称:威廉·布莱克的研究》()一夜之间获得了国际声誉。随后,他为文学期刊撰写了一系列备受瞩目的文章,主要发表在.网站上。他将这些内容收集起来,并将其转化为极具影响力的《批评剖析:四篇随笔》()。他死后的出版物也很不寻常。在,在他死后仅仅五年,《诺斯罗普·弗莱作品集》开始出现,它们开始于其他作家的作品集往往结束的地方,有大量的信件、日记和笔记本。《解剖》和《可怕的对称》的学术版目前正在积极筹备中,但即使在印刷之前,弗莱的读者也可以看到他对这些书和其他书的个人看法。这些读者的兴趣不仅包括文学,还包括宗教和文化,他们确实是幸运的。尼采的读者在他死后等了将近七十年才看到学术版的《Nachgelassene Fragmente》,弗莱提到了这一点,他首先要处理他姐姐在《意志与意志》中的选择性安排。荣格的读者仍然可以看到他的大部分罗特布赫或施瓦茨布赫的作品,这些作品一直被继承人封锁,直到最近才被菲利门基金会(Philemon Foundation)获得。塞缪尔·巴特勒(Samuel Butler)和詹姆斯·乔治·弗雷泽(James George Frazer)的读者自己编辑笔记本,他们永远不会知道在这个过程中丢弃了哪些材料。然而,弗莱的读者有一种尴尬的财富。喜欢床头书的人可以读读《诺斯罗普·弗莱:笔记本和日记中的机智与智慧》,这本书是由精力充沛的罗伯特·d·德纳姆(Robert D. Denham)挑选的,他比任何人都了解未发表的材料。那些想要原始背景,但又不想弗莱潦草笔迹的复杂的人,可以看德纳姆编辑的“晚期笔记本”和圣经笔记本,以及信件和日记。现在他们有了两卷,由德纳姆的助手迈克尔·多尔扎尼(Michael Dolzani)编辑,多尔扎尼曾担任弗莱的研究助理。在《可怕的对称与解剖学》之后,与弗莱计划出版但尚未完成的“第三本书”有关的笔记本出现在,而与他的文学浪漫作品有关的笔记本出现在的末尾。与尼采每次只写一本笔记本不同,弗莱对不同的主题使用不同的笔记本,经常在一段时间后回到一本

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. e 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 “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. e critical sophistication of genetic criticism strikes the reader of this book right away: the essays, generally speaking, move back and forth from theoretical discussions of the methodology of genetic criticism to studies of individual authors, like Marcel Proust, Henri-Marie Beyle Stendhal, and Gustave Flaubert. While reading the book, nevertheless, one begins to notice various attempts to avoid the charge of naïve positivism, despite the book’s repeated appeals to science. For instance, Pierre-Marc de Biasi’s essay, “Toward a Science of Literature: Manuscript Analysis,” argues that genetic criticism requires the establishment of a defined object in order for its empirical imperative to be fulfiled. Other essays in the book are similarly haunted by the occasional intrusion of scientific positivism that attends the careful treatment of material objects such as a writer’s notes and manuscripts. Philippe Lejeune’s essay, on the other hand, is the most explicit attempt to restrain the geneticist’s move toward a “science of literature” by appealing to “metaphors of detective investigation, archaeology, and psychological novels for genetic research” (). e
遗传批评:文本和先锋派文本介绍法国革命的文本批评到英语世界。与传统的文本批评不同,遗传批评并不致力于建立一个稳定的、出版的、严格遵循作者意图作为指导原则的文本。这本书是一本历史介绍和11篇先前发表的文章的翻译,代表了法国新的批评运动,寻求在给定文本的历史中发现新的解释可能性,“将手稿研究”,正如防尘套告诉我们的那样,“变成一种公认的文学批评形式”。基因批评探索了他们所谓的“先锋文本”的解释可能性,再一次,防尘套的简介将其描述为“作家的笔记、草图、草稿、手稿、打字稿、校样和信件的批判性收集。”为了使批评运动制度化,这本书的前言提供了一个很好的历史或遗传批评起源的描述,以及它与其他形式的文学分析如语言学、精神分析、社会批评和解构主义的合作方式。这本书之所以如此令人兴奋,是因为它展示了基因批评是如何推迟一本书或一部作品的材料结尾的,以及这种推迟的影响。遗传批评的批判性复杂性给这本书的读者留下了深刻的印象:一般来说,这些文章从遗传批评方法论的理论讨论到对个别作者的研究,如马塞尔·普鲁斯特、亨利-玛丽·贝尔·司司达和古斯塔夫·福楼拜的研究,来回移动。然而,在阅读这本书时,人们开始注意到,尽管书中一再呼吁科学,但人们还是试图避免naïve实证主义的指控。例如,皮埃尔-马克·德·比亚西(Pierre-Marc de Biasi)的文章《走向文学科学:手稿分析》(Toward a Science of Literature: Manuscript Analysis)认为,基因批评需要建立一个明确的对象,以便实现其经验主义的必要性。书中的其他文章也同样被科学实证主义的偶尔侵扰所困扰,这些实证主义参与了对物质对象(如作家的笔记和手稿)的仔细处理。另一方面,菲利普·勒琼(Philippe Lejeune)的文章则是用“侦探调查、考古学和基因研究心理小说的隐喻”()来限制遗传学家走向“文学科学”的最明确尝试。e
