LIBRI DI CLAUDIA CAO

The concept of intertextuality, born out of post-structuralist studies, has proven useful in defining the genesis of many works. Each text is always an intertext. As such, it reproduces, transforms, connects, or subverts other texts. The essays which are collected here describe intertextual exchanges which are constitutive of literary masterpieces, posters, and murals.

This volume is a themed collection of essays by scholars from a number of academic institutions, focusing on the strategies of contemporary reimagining, refashioning and rewriting Victorian culture. It considers Victorianomania in its broadest sense, examining the contemporary response to the literature and culture of the long 19th century.
