In 1516, More wrote to Erasmus, putting him in charge of the publication of Utopia. In his study about the “sources, parallels and influences” of More’s libellus, Edward Surtz points out that “the most evident influences are classical” and in 1965, in the introduction of his edition of Utopia, he noted that in the composition of this fiction, Plato and Plutarch are as essential as Cicero and Seneca. He also noted that these philosophers are “the source for the tenets and arguments of the two schools discussed by the Utopians, the Epicurean and the Stoic” and that “Cicero’s De finibus is of special interest here, but detailed studies of Ciceronian and Senecan influences have still to be made.” (p.cliv, clxi). From 1965 until today we haven’t found a specific study on this problem in the bibliography about Utopia and classical Latin literature, that’s why in this paper we will examine some of the connections that link More’s libellus to De finibus.

The sixty-fourth poem of Catullus, a work which has in times past been dismissed as contrived, is now appreciated precisely because it iscarefullycontrived. The majority of modern scholarship seems willing, implicitly or explicitly, to look upon the poem's intricacies and apparent contradictions as constituting part of its attraction, acknowledging that artifice does not necessarily preclude art.The complexities of poem 64 are contingent to a large degree upon its interaction with earlier poetic models. Structural devices of narrative are borrowed from a variety of sources; themes and scenes are delineated so as to reveal their full meaning through reader awareness of other works; literary allusions pervade the text. Perhaps the most salient intertextual feature of Catullus' epyllion is its interaction with previous literary treatments of the myth of Jason and Medea. In this regard, it has long been recognised that a poem of central importance for the reading of Catullus 64 is theArgonauticaof Apollonius Rhodius, and this present exploration of allusion in poem 64 will concentrate on the intertextual connections between 64 and its Hellenistic epic predecessor.

By examining the approaches to wisdom evident in its literary production, it is possible to get a glimpse of the diversity of Second Temple Jewish viewpoints. The identification of one trajectory is an attempt to describe and evaluate certain trends that are apparent in the literature without being able to make the claim that such an attempt is exhaustive. On the basis of the evidence available in one specific trajectory, Ben Sira and Wisdom of Solomon make the closest correlations between wisdom and Torah. While not providing evidence that the Torah was valued primarily as a collection of Pentateuchal law, it is apparent why these two compositions were valued by Jewish writers for whom this became the case.

Intertextual Connections

For understanding Y. Pluzhnyk’s poetry in the context of modern discourse, it is valuable to study the content of his lyrics in light of intertextual connections, which are presented in the article at the formal and semantic levels. It was determined that different intertextual forms reveal a functional dependence on the purpose underlying their introduction into the text by Y. Pluzhnyk (the illustrative charge, contrast, tho­ught reinforcement, delimiting observation, accumulation, etc.). The active use of various folkloric, mythological, artistic, and philosophical reminiscences transmits a distinctive repulsion from a known pattern for the sake of a new creative result. The presence of different intertextual types is a unique marker for the semantics embedded within Pluzhnyk’s text, which forms a circle that intertwines moods, worldview, and the author’s philosophy.

The relevance of the study is dictated by the need to identify intertextual connections in the lyrics by I. Elagin as evidence of the dialogic nature of his poems, their close connection with the Russian and world literary tradition. The article reveals the problem of detecting intertextual sources in the poetry of the second wave of emigration due to its poor study at the level of poetics, a partial solution of which is proposed in this publication. The novelty of the research lies in the detection of allusions and quotations that have not previously attracted the attention of researchers studying the work by I. Elagin. The aim of the study is to determine the allusive background of the Elagin's lyrics, which is necessary for the poet to organize a cultural dialogue with the metropolis of the literature. Based on the goal, the research methods were determined: the analysis of intertextual relations based on a comparative and historical-literary approach. In the course of the study, conclusions were drawn about the presence of a number of new, previously unnoticed allusive sources of Elagin's lyrics, consonant with his outlook of the emigrant poet, and also revealed the dialogical nature of his work, which is distinguished by the tragic outlook of a man of the new “neon age” - a time that does not accept poetry. In addition, it was determined that his intertextual dialogue with classics and contemporaries reveals the polemic and ambiguousness of his attitude to the new industrial age and, at the same time, faith in the unlimited possibilities of the poetic word, due to the fact that for Elagin, as a poet who formed abroad, it was important to define his own poetic genealogy and his place among Russian poets. As a research perspective, it should be noted the possibility of further consideration of the complex of intertextual connections of the poet, demonstrating his desire to be included in the circle of the “big” literature of the metropolis, to declare the uninterrupted tradition of Russian poetry, but at the same time showing a new look at them from the position of a “non-Soviet” person aesthetic space.

Reading Texts

All biblical scholars are familiar with the term ‘intertextuality’, but few can agree on the nature of the concept or how readers should identify intertextual relationships among texts. Some scholars employ a purely synchronic approach when reading texts together, emphasizing the autonomy of the reader in attributing meaning to textual connections. Other scholars pursue a more diachronic approach, seeking to uncover the specific links to precursor texts that the author wants readers to perceive. Within and between these two groups, disagreements also persist over how to differentiate legitimate intertextual connections from coincidental similarities, as well as how to exegete interrelated texts in light of their connections. This article surveys literature from the past twenty years that aims to answer these questions. None of these answers have brought about consensus, and perhaps the best solution is to label some of these studies by a name other than ‘intertextuality’.
