“…Cormack is not the only critic to have examined the impact of earlier writers on Atonement-Earl Ingersoll (2004) convincingly traces the debt owed to L.P. Hartley's The Go-Between (1953), while Richard Robinson (2010) provides a detailed commentary on the novel's connections to modernist fiction. No critics, however, have considered in depth McEwan's allusions to Samuel Richardson's Clarissa (1748), a work missing even from Cormack's extensive list.…”

“…(2013) investigates the concept of intertextuality in Gheorghe Crăciun's first four novels, and he shows subtypes of intertextuality in them. Ingersoll (2004) has read Hartley's The Go-Between (1953) and McEwan's Atonement (2001) within intertextuality approach that contains D. H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) as well as Keats's "Ode on a Grecian Urn". He has shown the ways in which Atonement affects The Go-Between, and both works influence Lady Chatterley's Lover, which is prior to them.…”

This article aims at studying intertextuality in three different texts. These texts are: 1) Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling" 2) Salinger's "Franny and Zooey" and 3) Mehrjui's "Hamoon". To this end, Genette's (1997) concepts and ideas have been adapted. The main concepts are intertextuality and its three types: obvious intertextuality, concealed intertextuality and implicit intertextuality. Based on these concepts and how Genette defines them, it is shown that intertextuality in these texts is implicit rather than obvious or concealed.

Climatic Change

Articulated initially by physical scientists, the idea of anthropogenic global climate change has been subject to increasingly diverse examinations in recent years. The idea has been appropriated by economists, worked with by engineers and, more recently, scrutinised by social scientists and humanities scholars. Underlying these examinations are different, yet rarely exposed, presumptions about what kind of 'thing' climate is: a physical abstraction, a statistical construct, an imaginative idea. If the ontological status of climate is rarely made explicit it becomes difficult to know whether the different epistemologies used to reveal climates -and their changing properties -are appropriate. This study offers one way in which the different worlds inhabited by the idea of climate may be revealed. It does so by examining a heatwave: a powerful meteorological phenomenon one would think and one which scientific accounts of climate change tell us will become more frequent in the future. The heatwave in question occurred in July 1900 in the county of Norfolk, England. This heatwave inhabits three very different worlds: the imaginative world of L P Hartley in his novel The Go Between; the historical world of late Victorian Norfolk; and the digital world of the climate sciences. The traces of the heatwave left in these different worlds are varied and access to them is uneven. Constructing an adequate interpretation of this singular climatic event and its meaning is challenging. The study suggests that grasping the idea of climate may be harder than we think. Climates may be ineffable. Yet the approach to the study of climate illustrated here opens up new ways of thinking about the meaning and significance of climate change.As a liberating power with its own laws [the heat] was outside my experience … In the heat the senses, the mind, the heart, the body, all told a different tale. One felt another person, one was another person.
