Abstract
This paper analyses Donald Barthelme’s and Robert Coover’s postmodern novels Snow White and Briar Rose and the way both authors, especially through the use of parody and irony, undermine traditional genres of popular literature and, at the same time, give both an intramural critique of traditional narrative techniques (and the vision of the world they produce) and the extramural critique of consumerism and popular culture. In addition to this, with the analysis of Coover’s novel the emphasis is on the imagery of dreams and dreaming understood as the manifestation of undermining of some aspects of Freudian theories.
