  Article:   SPACE AND TIME RE-VISITED: "PARA"-TEXT AND THE VICTORIAN AFTERLIFE.

Authors:  SANDA BERCE. 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This paper seeks to explain the predilection of the contemporary writers (represented by John Fowles) for the Victorian period and to refer to some of the ideological implications of the respective culture on the Postmodern. The research turns upon one aspect of the complex double-way shift of information between the late 19th and the late 20th century regarded from the aftermath which is the 21st century. It clarifies what ‘peri’- and ‘para’- text is and aims at identifying them in contemporary reading and interpretation on basis of two novels written by Charlotte Bront’ and by John Fowles. The ‘shifty space’ of the ‘paratext’ frames out the type of reading and the relationship between the Reader and the Author and also clarifies the change of dominant in contemporary literature.
