This book is an exploration of the viability of applying the post
structuralist theory of intertextuality to early modern texts. It
suggests that a return to a more theorised understanding of
intertextuality, as that outlined by Julia Kristeva and Roland
Barthes, is more productive than an interpretation which merely
identifies 'source' texts. The book analyses several key early
modern texts through this lens, arguing that the period's conscious
focus on and prioritisation of the creative imitation of classical
and contemporary European texts makes it a particularly fertile era
for intertextual reading. This analysis includes discussion of
early modern creative writers' utilisation of classical mythology,
allegory, folklore, parody, and satire, in works by William
Shakespeare, Sir Francis Bacon, John Milton, George Peele, Thomas
Lodge, Christopher Marlowe, Francis Beaumont, and Ben Jonson, and
foregrounds how meaning is created and conveyed by the interplay of
texts and the movement between narrative systems. This book will be
of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of early
modern literature, as well as early modern scholars.
