Other insights from the cutting room floor will include the original ending to Raymond Chandler’s The Big Sleep, George Eliot’s reading notes, Franz Kafka’s cuts in the manuscript of his novel The Castle and the description in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein extracted from Percy Shelley’s journal. https://www.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/about/media/write-cut-rewrite
