"IF ON A WINTER'S NIGHT A REVELLER": THE CLASSICAL INTERTEXT IN DONNA TARTT'S THE SECRET HISTORY (part 2)
Abstract
6.5 CLASSICAL AUTHORS AND TOPOI Classical elements in Tartt's novel can frequently be identified via pointers such as: discussions of classical authors or their works, comparisons between classical figures and characters in the novel, or references to classical topoi in general. When an author is implicitly alluded to without being identified, a grey area is entered where the reader has to decide whether the context warrants a link between a vague allusion and an unidentified author (cf. n.6).
