From Wharton to McClure's to Appleton to Macmillan: Journey of "Summer" from Manuscript to Print

Comparative Chart by Category: Words and Phrases

     “Words and Phrases” is one of the major categories since a lot of variations occur across the editions in terms of insertion and deletion of words or phrases and change of words or phrases or their order in a sentence. While skimming through some chapters of Summer, I noticed an interesting alteration made to the MME. In Chapter 10, the MME has deleted “whore” and “damn” from two sentences where Mr. Royall verbally abuses Charity at the fair. Both “whore” and “damn” exist in the MSS and are retained in both the FAE and the FBE. However, “damn” appears in MME in several sections––for example, Mr. Royall says “I am a damn fool” in Chapter 1 (MME, p. 10, Feb 1917) and the unnamed young man from the Mountain uses “damn you” twice in Chapter 16 (MME, p. 56, July 1917 ). Thus, I wonder if the omission of “whore” in the MME has to do with the reading culture of early twentieth century. Particularly, since McClure’s Magazine was published for popular audience, I wonder if the deletion was meant to save its audience from the shock of reading such an abusive word.
