Keywords: metafiction; postmodernist novel; literary theory

Summary/Abstract: The text is an overview of metafiction, situated in a double context. First, it is seen as situated in a literary-historical context, in order to establish the continuity of the use of metafictional devices in literary practice. Secondly, it is approached from a literary-theoretical context, in order to elaborate the dominant theoretical concepts of metafiction (Linda Hutcheon, Patricia Waugh and Mark Currie) and their intersections. Referring to terminological proliferation, this paper suggests a certain terminological distinction between several synonymous terms.
