Description: The introduction discusses the Russian contribution to modern theories of intertextuality, questions some conventional wisdoms of current critical radicalism, and outlines the author's moderately post-structuralist approach to "close rereading." The author focuses on such major instances of intertextuality as dialogues between authors' entire oeuvres; uses of a common topos by different authors; modern derivations from classical prototypes; exchanges between contemporaries; and multiple intertexts converging on a single text.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [337]-359) and index.
