RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Parodia y pastiche en la obra de D.M. Thomas A1 Oliva Cruz, Juan Ignacio AB Parody, nowadays defined in terms of textual imitation, ispresent on a major scale in contemporary British literature (Fowles,Bradbury, Lodge, Rushdie, Carter...). Together with pastiche —amultiparodical structure—, they both occupy their place inside themetafictive discourse of self-conscious novels. D.M. Thomas(Cornwall, 1935) goes a step further in his treatment of parody andbecause of that he has been accused of plagiarism, after publishingThe White Hotel. This essay tries to analyse this debate and studyboth parody and pastiche in his previous novels —The Flute-Playerand Birthstone— and, specially, in reference to The RussianQuartet (Ararat, Swallow, Sphinx, Summit), appeared from 1983 to1987.
