| description | This chapter uses Jane Austen as a case study to explore the roles that paper, the underlying support, play within literary drafts. It investigates whether her choice and use of paper within a relatively small surviving corpus reveal methods and habits of writing. It demonstrates the types of evidence that can be drawn by studying the physical marks and characteristics of paper. Examples show that much can be gleaned from careful characterisation and comparison of the physical features of any paper used for literary drafts. Paper might be thought a neutral carrier, but the conscious or unconscious choices of paper by a writer, coupled with their habits and preferences of use, leave material evidence independent of the written text. |
