METAFICTION: IDENTITY AND MASK IN THE REPRESENTATION OF THE SELF (UNVEILING THE “QUEST OF THE AUTHOR” IN THE NOVELS OF J. FOWLES). Authors: SANDA BERCE. |

Abstract: The paper describes a very fashionable theoretical topic at the time John Fowles wrote his novels and the growing concern for the representation of identity that defines the contemporary world (i. e. postmodern world). The link between the well-known "death of the Author" (who has been, in the meantime, revived) and the decline of Man as a transcendental concept, following the nineteenth century "death of God" has been made clear in an age of uncertainty and is reflected by the dispersion of identity within the pluralistic world. Henceforth, the decomposition of the human psyche into a number of "faces" subjected to the influence of history and the play of hazard is paralleled by the withdrawal of the Writer’s Identity by proclaiming the return of the Author. | |||||||
