Writing on the Verge: a Narratological Approach to Hugo Claus’s Novels as Rewritings of Popular Narrative Patterns Ghent University
This research project focusses on the interaction between popular and elite culture and the systematic rewriting of popular narrative patterns in Hugo Claus’s novels. Starting from a narratological analysis and Moraru’s concept rewriting (2001), this project presents a detailed analysis of five novels and, taking this as a starting point, then shed light on the evolution in Claus’s writing.
