Abstract
This paper examines three principal characteristics of historiographic metafiction - parody, intertextuality and unreliable narrator in John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman, A.S. Byatt’s Possession and Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children. In John Fowles’s The French Lieutenant’s Woman the focus is on the parody of Victorian social and literary conventions. In the analysis of A.S. Byatt’s Possession the emphasis is put on intertextuality and the way it makes readers aware of the relationship between a text and social and cultural contexts. Analysing Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, the paper focuses on the unreliable narrator and the techniques Rushdie uses in order to show that there is more than one version of history. The paper argues that writing history is similar to writing literature as both processes are artificial constructs.
Abstract (croatian)
Ovaj diplomski rad istražuje tri glavne karakteristike historiografske metafikcije - parodiju, intertekstualnost i nepouzdanog pripovjedača u Ženskoj francuskog poručnika Johna Fowlesa, Zaposjedanju A.S. Byatt i Djeci ponoći Salmana Rushdiea. U Ženskoj francuskog poručnika Johna Fowlesa fokus je na parodiji viktorijanskih društvenih i književnih konvencija. U analizi romana Zaposjedanje autorice A.S. Byatt naglasak je stavljen na intertekstualnost, te kako ona ukazuje čitateljima da postoji veza između teksta te društvenog i kulturnog konteksta. Analiza Djece ponoći Salmana Rushdiea usmjerena je na nepouzdanog pripovjedača te metode koje Rushdie koristi kako bi pokazao da ne postoji samo jedna verzija povijesti. U radu se tvrdi da je pisanje povijesti slično pisanju književnih djela, budući da su oba procesa umjetne tvorevine.
