Elementy powieści postmodernistycznej w Magu Johna Fowlesa

Wojciech Boryszewski

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to prove that The Magus, despite being quite traditional in its form, has a lot of features of a postmodernist novel. The author begins with explaining the term postmodernism and the most characteristic features of a postmodernist novel. These features include such phenomena as intertextuality, metafiction and eclectism which manifests itself, among others, in generic syncretism. The novel makes use of intertextuality, as it refers to a great number of various texts. One of its major themes is fiction itself, which makes the novel an example of metafiction. It also blends elements of a few different genres, such as romance (chivalric, pastoral and picaresque), Bildungsroman, detective story, autobiography and masque.
