  Article:   INTERTEXTUALITY IN ANGELA CARTER’S SHORT STORIES.

  Abstract:  “Intertextuality in Angela Carter’s Short Stories”. The ambiguous status of the short stories from the volume The Bloody Chamber, by Angela Carter, where erudite and folkloric references corroborate magic realism, engenders a questioning of the literary genre. After having differentiated between children’s literature and fairy tales, we examine the pastiche and parody elements, arguing for the parodic qualities of these texts. Our demonstration in favour of comic intentionality concludes with an analysis of intertextual and intercultural referencing.

Keywords: children’s literature, fairy tale, folklore, history, intertextuality, parody, reference, religion.
