Summary/Abstract: Every era of literature has seemingly had its misfits, works that failed to be integrated into the canon and that became anomalies among their peers. At the same time, these works resemble each other in certain ways. The common thread that links these pieces of rebellious culture can be found in the collective volume Anarchetypes: A Re-Evaluation of Marginal Literary Forms and Genres, edited by Corin Braga. The editor’s eponymous concept of the anarchetype is refreshed here, gaining a clearer and more comprehensive definition while also being augmented by the addition of four basic structures that anarchetypal texts can be fit into. In addition to this, the collected articles open to a grand amplitude the possible avenues of utilizing this concept, instrumentalizing the anarchetype in studies tied to specific authors or genres, but also in research that aims to re-evaluate the development of forms of literature.
