By definition, a palimpsest is “a written document, usually on
vellum or parchment, that has been written upon several times,
often with remnants of erased writing still visible.” Palimpsests
(originally published in France in 1982), one of Gérard
Genette’s most important works, examines the manifold
relationships a text may have with prior texts. Genette describes
the multiple ways a later text asks readers to read or remember an
earlier one. In this regard, he treats the history and nature of
parody, antinovels, pastiches, caricatures, commentary, allusion,
imitations, and other textual relations. Gérard Genette is
one of the most original and influential literary critics of modern
France. He is the major practitioner of narratological criticism, a
pioneer in structuralism, and a much-admired literary historian.
Such works as Narrative Discourse and Mimologics (Nebraska 1995)
have established his international reputation as a literary
theorist of the first order.
