Essays in this collection examine two different approaches to literary theory - influence and intertextuality. The study of influence centers on major authors and canonical works, and the study of intertextuality treats all texts as part of a network of discourses with less focus on writers as individuals. These discussions arose from a new interest in literary history, and various periods and types of literature are covered in the 13 essays in this book.  Signed by editor/author Jay Clayton.
