Abstract

The article is devoted to studying intermediality as a poetological category in the novel “Gryll Grange” (1861) by Thomas Love Peacock (1785-1866). It is shown that musicality combined with the dramatic element constitutes intermedial dominant of the novel. The paper aims to analyse representation of the categories “theatricality” and “musicality” in the novel’s poetics. The findings indicate that musical and theatrical codes, along with conventional novelistic techniques, contribute to forming a multi-level text structure, which allows considering T. L. Peacock’s novel as a meta-performance. Scientific originality of the study involves an intermedial analysis of the novel’s poetics.
