J. FOWLES AT THE CROSSROAD OF INTERTEXTUALITY AND AUTOINTERTEXTUALITY

Abstract

The articles aims at studying the concept ’’ isolation’’ in J. Folwles’ works’’ The Aristos’’ and ‘’The Magus’’ in the light of intertextuality and autointertextuality. The study shows that the concept is actualized via autointertextuality, as well as via intertextuality as the extract where the concept is verbalized alludes to J.Donne’s works. So, the concept ‘’isolation’’ is actualized via intertextuality and autointertextuality at the same time which makes the deciphering process a unique one.
