"Tillsammans med minnet av natten": En transtextuell studie av Tage Aurells "Sommarspel"

A relationship which is so closely tied to Tage Aurell's authorship that it is crucial in order to understand the peculiar mix of countryside realism and experimental modernism which constitutes Aurell's short stories. The study also examines the relationship between "Sommarspel" and other genres (lyric and drama). An examination which concludes in introducing the term hyper-architextuality. (Less)
