Abstract
This chapter starts with a look back at Michael Fishbane as a way of opening a question about how far analogies between interpretive modes really hold. It proposes that the concept of intertextuality as developed in literary studies, a concept quite distinct from Fishbane's evident use of the term, could prove helpful in elucidating the actual relationships to tradition that pre-canonical biblical texts once had to their varied precursors. The chapter presents a brief review on how the term intertextuality developed in literary studies as a contrast to earlier literary studies of influence. It concludes with an example from Jay Clayton on how different approaches help to understand certain motifs in Thomas Hardy's novel, Tess of the d'Urbervilles , published in 1891. Keywords:biblical texts; intertextuality; Jay Clayton; Michael Fishbane
