Description de l'ouvrage :
One of the primary objectives of comparative literature is the study of the relationship of texts, also known as intertextuality, which is a means of contextualizing and analyzing the way literature grows and flourishes through inspiration and imitation, direct or indirect. When the inspiration and imitation is direct and obvious, the study of this rapport falls into the more restricted category of hypertextuality. What Steven Walker has labeled a cryptic subtext, however, is an extreme case of hypertextuality. It involves a series of allusions to another text that have been deliberately inserted by the author into the primary text as potential points of reference. This book takes a deep dive into a broad array of literature and film to explore these allusions and the hidden messages therein.
À propos de l'auteur :
Steven F. Walker is a Professor of Comparative Literature at Rutgers University
Revue de Presse :
"Cryptic Subtexts is a far reaching, original, engaging book that will alter the direction, and enrich the scope of, intertextual studies."-- Jon Thiem, Professor emeritus, Colorado State University
"Walker’s Cryptic Subtexts in Modern Literature and Film: Secret Messages and Buried Treasure is a rare treat for the reader: an eloquent, comprehensive, yet accessible account of a promising new category and a rich panoply of literary, visual, music, and film artworks. Crossing cultures, artforms and disciplines, and showing how they productively interact even when—and especially when—they differ, Walker’s has created a book that is much needed today." -- Professor Sanja Bahun, University of Essex
