The Anxiety of Indebtedness in Intertextuality

Author(s) Mr. M. Dhanasekaran - -, Dr. C. Dhanabal - -

Abstract The present literary age is replete with imitation. Inspiration, a divine afflatus in literature, sparsely meets the creative progress nowadays. On the contrary, influence, a foil to inspiration, plays a destructive role in literature. The research paper focuses on two things: Julia Kristeva’s Intertextuality and Harold Bloom’s the Anxiety of Influence. Intertextuality is a comparative reading of many texts in order to find out the similarities among them. It consists of anagram, allusion, adaptation, translation, parody, pastiche, and imitation. The influence of the past plays a crucial role in the creative process and acts as the driving force for the present writers to create new classics.
Keywords Anagram, allusion, adaptation, and parody.
