Intertexts, Transtexts and Paratexts: Following the Yellow Brick Roads of Fin-de-siècle Children’s Fiction

Journal Title: Kultura Popularna - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 47

Abstract

Drawing on L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz as a case study – a children’s fairytale novel published in 1900 – this article aims to explore concepts and manifestations of intertextuality around the turn of the twentieth century. Through which industry mechanisms could intertextuality manifest itself at this time – and in what ways could authors such as Baum construct children’s fiction as intertextual tapestries, creating sprawling worlds across media? Key words: transmediality, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, intertextuality, cultural industries<br/><br/>
