Abstract
Abstract: This paper examines two types of transfictional texts that appear little challenging to the ending and, consequently, to the discourse of their source-texts. After attempting to define the workings and scopes of sequels and companion novels, we shall consider two instances provided by Daphne du Maurier'sRebecca’s rich afterlife since its publication and success in 1938: Susan Hill's Mrs de Winter (1993) and Sally Beauman'sRebecca's Tale (2001) that engage with Rebecca’s ending and discourse in different ways and with diverse results.Resumen: Este artículo examina dos tipos de textostransficcionales que parecendesafiar muy poco el final y, porconsiguiente, el discurso de sus fuentestextuales.
