Eastern European traditions
Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, and Ukrainian literary drafts
This chapter refers to literature in five languages: Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak
and Ukrainian. Firstly, it presents the histories of Eastern European literary drafts. In this section answers
to the following questions are delivered: from what time do the oldest surviving rough drafts date? How did
the culture of archiving evolve? What impact did historical events have on the state of preservation of the
documents? The focus then shifts to the issue of the genetic approach in Eastern European scholarship. The aim
of this section is to discuss how creative writing processes were dealt with by different philological
traditions. Finally, East European reception of critique génétique is presented.
