More about the book

A comprehensive introduction to the idea of intertextuality and the debates surrounding it. The author focuses on the four key thinkers whose work has been central to these debates - Kristeva, Barthes, Bloom and Genette. With an innovative perspective, the author guides the reader through the original texts of each of these. Of special importance is the author's reading (and translation) of other parts of Kristeva's Semeiotik. Orr's investigation takes a fresh approach to the rival French critics - Angenot, Derrida, Girard and Ricoeur - who also worked on intertexuality and tackles the language of intertextuality, shining new light on some of the terminology most commonly associated with this concept.
