Published first in 1947, it is a brilliant, moving, and complex novel, perhaps the last fictional masterpiece to emerge from the modernist movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the years went by, Lowry's obsessive rewriting took him further and further into his book, which changed relatively little in the outer semblance of action and main characters but became utterly transformed in texture from the thin and mediocre version of 1940 to the rich tapestry of 1947. The numerous manuscripts allow a look at the processes by which Lowry created not only his masterwork but also his own reputation as a modernist genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis study offers an extended examination of individual drafts as the novel slowly developed and, in a final chapter, an appraisal of the implications of Lowry's revisions for the book as published, an appraisal that suggests bases for new readings of \u003cem\u003eUnder the Volcano\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Frederick Asals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820318264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820318264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Georgia Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.79lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.39h x 6.26w x 1.22d","brand":"Frederick Asals","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43947338531071,"sku":"9780820318264","price":55.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_e47070b8-1550-4d63-9931-0996707af351.jpg?v=1681518132","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-of-malcolm-lowrys-under-frederick-asals-9780820318264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
