Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Moraru argues forcibly for inclusion of feminist, African American, and postcolonial points of view in postmodern criticism." -- CHOICE

"In studying postmodern rewrites, Moraru's goal is to answer those critics on the Left and Right who see postmodern fiction as mere recycling in our age of cloning ... Rewriting is a pleasure to read, as Moraru's writing is accessible and nimble." -- American Literature

"Rewriting breaks new ground and resolves a debate central to the understanding of contemporary fiction." -- Jerome Klinkowitz, author of Literary Disruptions: The Making of a Post-Contemporary American Fiction

"The book's triple subjects--postmodernism, reading, and intertextuality--are each extremely significant, utterly current, and vigorously debated. The range of this book is exemplary: it reexamines earlier central texts and authors as well as a number of works from the nineties. It will stay fresh for many years." -- Brian Richardson, author of Unlikely Stories: Causality and the Nature of Modern Narrative

Reseña del editor:

Examines the tendency of post-World War II writers to rewrite earlier narratives by Poe, Melville, Hawthorne, and others.
