RWS Intertext

Intertextuality refers to how texts relate to and reference other texts. It occurs through methods like retelling stories, directly quoting other works, alluding to ideas from other texts without quoting, or copying another text's style. Intertextuality is defined as a process that combines imitation of another work with original creation. It is validated by determining if two or more related stories are involved, or if the text shows direct or indirect connections to another piece of work.
