| Literary scholars have tended to address intertextual reworkings of the canon primarily in terms of the critiques they level--as instances of "re-vision" or "writing back." While subversive texts, and the hopes scholars have attached to them, are an important part of the story I tell, exclusive attention to texts that express an oppositional politics conveys a mistaken impression about the fortunes of the traditional canon in contemporary culture. When one widens the angle of vision to observe the range of writers--across national boundaries and in both "literary" and popular fiction--that deploy the generic technology I call "minor character elaboration," a very different picture appears. In fact, I argue, the canon returns triumphant, in and through a genre that seemed designed to ensure its obsolescence--and it does so in the prevailing form triumph takes in contemporary life: triumph in the marketplace. This dissertation argues for revising critical orthodoxies about contemporary reworkings of the canon, and, perhaps as importantly, rehabilitates genre analysis as a critical tool by combining formalist inquiry and narrative theory with cultural and material histories. » | Literary scholars have tended to address intertextual reworkings of the canon primarily in terms of the critiques they level--as instances of "re-vision" or "writing back."
