Intertextuality in Ian Mcewan's selected novels

الملخص EN

The term intertextuality is coined by poststructuralist Julia Kristeva, in her essay “Word, Dialogue and Novel” (1969).

The underlying principle of intertextuality is relationality and lack of independence.

In this paper, this technique (intertextuality) will be discussed in Ian McEwan's selected novels.

The novels are Enduring Love (1997), Atonement (2001), and Sweet Tooth (2012).
