"Leader starts from the position that a preference for the earlier, if possible earliest, version is evidence of what he thinks of as a (false) Romantic notion....In contesting this view of the matter, Leader aligns himself with the modern critical school associated with the name of Jerome McGann and with his attack on what he calls 'the Romantic ideology'....Much of what they say I myself think erroneous, but Leader is not interested, here at any rate, in their new-historicist bullying; his point is simply that there is something false in the cult of the original unrevised version."
Frank Kermode, London Review of Books, 06/06/1996
Review:"It is a scholarly work....It is also enlightening, witty and provocative, opening up into larger debate about the continuing nostalgic Romanticism of contemporary editors and critics."
Angela Leighton, Times Literary Supplement, 08/02/1996

Revision and Romantic Authorship (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780198186342) Leader, Zachary Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Oxford University Press, United Kingdom, 1999. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 216 x 138 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. The Romantic author as spontaneous, extemporizing, otherworldly, and autonomous is a fiction much in need of revision. In this highly regarded volume, Zachary Leader argues that the continuing influence of a Romantic preference for what comes naturally, with a concomitant devaluing of the secondary processes, distorts our understanding of the actual creative practices of writers of the period, even those most closely associated with Romantic assumptions. 'Second thoughts' (including those of collaborators) play a crucial role in the writings of Wordsworth, Byron, Coleridge, Mary Shelley, Clare, and Keats. Other assumptions complicated by a study of the actual revising practices of Romantic writers are those which associate composition with the organic and with process, or which characterize authors as independent agents or figures of coherent and consistent subjectivity.In the first part of the book, Leader shows how revisionary and editorial habits (those not only of the writers themselves but of their modern editors) reflect conflicting attitudes to the self or personal identity; in the second, these attitudes are related to the role of 'collaborators' in the revising process, including family, friends, publishers, critics, and readers.

The Romantic author as spontaneous, extemporizing, otherworldly, and autonomous is a fiction much in need of revision. Romantic attitudes to authorship profess a preference for what comes naturally, with a concomitant devaluing of secondary processes, yet many Romantic writers such as Wordsworth, Byron, and Mary Shelley revised their works. In this highly regarded volume, Zachary Leader unveils the revisionary practices of these writers, showing that second thoughts in fact played a crucial role in Romantic composition. (Paperback).
