This study focuses on emblematic intertextual strategies in contemporary British fiction. Analysing the process of adaptation, pastiche, transworld identity and historiographic metafiction, the book demonstrates how the intertextual impulse can be inscribed not only in the structure and semantics of a given text but also in the narrative plane.
