TY - JOUR TI - Thematic influences and intertextuality in Flaubert’s novels and Maupassant’s short stories AU - Anghel, Liliana TI - Thematic influences and intertextuality in Flaubert’s novels and Maupassant’s short stories AB - This essay will show the influence of Flaubert’s writings and aesthetical conception on Maupassant’s short stories. For our demonstration, we chose the thematical level and the concept of intertextuality, which can be applied not only on stylistic or semantic microstructures, but also on a literary work as a whole. The examples of intertextuality are based on five fragments of Flaubert’s novels, compared to five fragments (thematically related) of Maupassant’s short stories.  VL - Volume 18 (2018) IS - Volume 18, Issue 4 PY - 2018 SN - 1732-8705 C1 - 2084-3917 SP - 171 EP - 184 DO - 10.4467/20843917RC.18.018.9590 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/romanica-cracoviensia/article/influences-thematiques-et-intertextualite-dans-les-recits-de-flaubert-et-de-maupassant KW - thematical influence KW - intertextuality KW - hypotext KW - hypertext KW - imitation and genuine creation
