BOX 195-509 | Writings, 1935-2019 | ||||||||||||
The Writings series documents Wouk's nearly seven-decade career as a
best-selling author of fiction and non-fiction. Dating from 1940 to 2019,
the series most prominently features works published or begun after 1970,
including articles and essays, novels, non-fiction books, poetry, short
stories, memoirs, and unpublished material. Works with the most material in
the collection include A Hole in Texas, The Hope, The Glory, Inside, Outside, The Winds of War, and War and Remembrance. Files on individual titles include contracts, correspondence,
marketing and promotional material, book design material, manuscript drafts,
notes, publishing material, page and galley proofs, research files, reviews,
and work journals. Wouk began the majority of his writing projects with a
work journal, an often daily account of his writing process, detailing his
ideas, inspiration, research methods, character development, progress,
challenges, emotions about a project, and how life events influenced his
writing. His most frequent subjects included World War II, the history of
Israel, and Judaism. Manuscript drafts refer to typescript, handwritten,
complete, or incomplete drafts that preceded the production of page and
galley proofs. Within manuscript drafts, Wouk designated some files as
discards, fragments, scraps, and roughs. Drafts went through multiple
revisions, and Wouk often sent drafts to consulting experts for comments. He
conducted extensive research for his writings, particularly for historical
novels The Winds of War, War and Remembrance, The Hope, and The Glory. In the case of The Winds of War and The Hope, the scope of research and the subject matter proved too great for
one book, prompting Wouk to write sequels to each. Much of the material
related to The Hope and The Glory cannot be attributed to one book over the other, and is arranged
and described together. Correspondence related to Wouk's writings includes
consultation with historians, military officers, scientists, journalists,
and other subject matter experts. There is also correspondence with
publishers, researchers, editors, and readers. Access to the manuscript drafts and work journals for Inside, Outside is restricted until 2039. Material types include articles, clippings, essays, contracts, correspondence, drafts, notes, memoranda, journals, outlines, poems, short stories, page and galley proofs, and research files. |
