Summary/Abstract: The current paper investigates the concept of intertextuality as it is depicted in Gheorghe Crăciun’s first four novels. With Gheorghe Crăciun, this concept goes beyond its definition from the theory of literature and, instead, it establishes itself more like a paradigm in which one can find subtypes of intertextuality. This paper aims at investigating these subtypes and at establishing the relationships Gheorghe Crăciun’s first four novels hold with other texts, belonging either to the world literature (both old and new, or to Romanian literature (again, both old and contemporary).
