Beckett’s Dantes: Intertextuality in the Fiction and Criticism is the first study in English on the literary relation between Beckett and Dante. It is an innovative reading of Samuel Beckett and Dante’s works and a critical engagement with contemporary theories of intertextuality. It is an informative intertextual reading of Beckett’s work, detecting previously unknown quotations, allusions to, and parodies of Dante in Beckett’s fiction and criticism. The volume interprets Dante in the original Italian (as it appears in Beckett), translating into English all Italian quotations. It benefits from a multilingual approach based on Beckett’s published works in English and French, and on manuscripts (which use English, French, German and Italian). Through a close reading of Beckett’s fiction and criticism, the book will argue that Dante is both assumed as an external source of literary and cultural authority in Beckett’s work, and also participates in Beckett’s texts’ sceptical undermining of authority. Moreover, the book demonstrates that the many references to various ‘Dantes’ produce ‘Mr Beckett’ as the figure of the author responsible for such a remarkably interconnected oeuvre. The book is aimed at the scholarly communities interested in literatures in English, literary and critical theory, comparative literature and theory, French literature and theory and Italian studies. Its jargon-free style will also attract third-year or advanced undergraduate students, and postgraduate students, as well as those readers interested in the unusual relationship between one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century and the medieval author who stands for the very idea of the Western canon.

"Intertextuality" is the overarching idea that all texts and conversations are linked to other texts and conversations, and that people create and infer meanings in discourse through making and interpreting these links. Intertextuality is fundamentally connected to metadiscourse; when a person draws on or references one text or conversation in another (intertextuality), they necessarily communicate something about that text or conversation (metadiscourse). While scholars have long recognized the interrelatedness of these two theoretical concepts, existing studies have tended to focus on one or the other, leaving underexplored the specific ways in which these phenomena are intertwined at the micro-interactional level, especially online, and for what purposes.

Free Download Intertextuality in Pliny’s Epistles
English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009294768 | 357 Pages | PDF | 2.5 MB
Pliny’s Epistles are full of literary artistry. This volume of essays by an impressive international team of scholars showcases this by exploring the intertextual, interdiscursive and also intermedial character of the collection. It provides a contribution to the recent scholarly interest in Latin prose intertextuality and in the literary and cultural interactions of the Imperial period. Focusing on the whole collection as well as on single books and selected letters, it investigates Pliny’s strategies of incorporating literary models and genres into his epistolary oeuvre, thus creating a kind of ‘super-genre’ himself. In addition to displaying Pliny’s literary techniques, the volume also serves as an advanced introduction to Latin prose poetics.

Free Download Syrithe Pugh, "Conversations: Classical and Renaissance intertextuality"
English | ISBN: 1526152673 | 2020 | 272 pages | PDF | 5 MB
For educated poets and readers in the Renaissance, classical literature was as familiar and accessible as the work of their compatriots and contemporaries – often more so. This volume seeks to recapture that sense of intimacy and immediacy, as scholars from both sides of the modern disciplinary divide come together to eavesdrop on the conversations conducted through allusion and intertextual play in works from Petrarch to Milton and beyond. The essays include discussions of Ariosto, Spenser, Du Bellay, Marlowe, the anonymous drama Caesars Revenge, Shakespeare and Marvell, and look forward to the grand retrospect of Shelley’s Adonais. Together, they help us to understand how poets across the ages have thought about their relation to their predecessors, and about their own contributions to what Shelley would call ‘that great poem, which all poets…have built up since the beginning of the world’.
