Intertextuality and Tradition
These two contributions to the ongoing story of intertextual theory and criticism are diametrically opposed in their approaches and in that way bear witness to the persistence of the concept of intertextuality. Jessica Mason, in Intertextuality in Practice, brings together contemporary versions of stylistic analysis with narratology and with cognitive poetics to look specifically at the way in which readers employ intertextual strategies in compi…

Early interveners: “Leave your comfort zone!”
Purpose The prominence of late intervention in service delivery culture contrasts with the depth of scientific evidence that demonstrates the advantage of intervening early to prevent the development of social dysfunction and problems. The paper seeks to address this issue. Design/methodology/approach This paper draws on the author's experience as a leading UK politician advocating the greater use of evidence‐based early intervention approaches, …
Intertextuality
Theories of intertextuality suggest that meaning in a text can only ever be understood in relation to other texts; no work stands alone but is interlinked with the tradition that came before it and the context in which it is produced. This idea of intertextuality is crucial to understanding literary studies today. Graham Allen deftly introduces the topic and relates its significance to key theories and movements in the study of literature. The se…
Holes
365 Holes Graham Allen (bio) What would a poem look like if it took ‘Structure, Sign and Play’ as a manifesto for poetry? It would certainly be written for voices. Female and male voices. Female and male voices in the voice. It would tell no story, or rather too many. It would have no quotable core, no touchstones; or, perhaps it would be merely what is quotable. A series of touchstones, soon to be tombstones. It would somehow escape the literary…
Unfashioned creatures, but half made up: Beginning With Mary Shelley's Spectre
This paper uses Derrida’s work Politics of Friendship to interrogate the concept of the “friend” in the educational and fictional writings of Mary Shelley, William Godwin and Mary Wiollstonecraft. It concludes with a reading of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, which argues that a certain wager on the possibility friendship rhetorically structures Wollstonecraft’s text. The argument about friendship and education mounted in this paper leads o…

Transparent Universities, Foreign Bodies
This article was part of an issue of the Oxford Literary Review which consisted of a series of email exchanges between the editors Timothy Clark and Nicholas Royle and colleagues working in universities in a number of countries: Australia, Canada, Denmark, England, India, Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, and the United States. Each exchange begins with the same question, namely an invitation to reflect on US domination vis-à-vis the university an…
Godwin, Fénelon, and the disappearing teacher
The connection between Godwin and Fénelon has traditionally been restricted to the famous and controversial moment in the first edition of Political Justice (1793) in which Godwin presents an example of the interdependence of rationality and ethical action. This paper argues, however, that Fénelon, and particularly his political and educational treatise Telemachus (1699), plays a significant role in a number of Godwin's subsequent fictional works…

Intertextuality
No text has its meaning alone; all texts have their meaning in relation to other texts. Since Julia Kristeva coined the term in the 1960s, intertextuality has been a dominant idea within literary and cultural studies leaving none of the traditional ideas about reading or writing undisturbed. Graham Allen's Intertextuality outlines clearly the history and the use of the term in contemporary theory, demonstrating how it has been employed in: struct…
