The greatest actor of his day, Sir Henry Irving (1838-1905) thrilled audiences with his tragedy and melodrama, his Hamlet and Richard III, most famously at the Lyceum Theatre in London. Born John Henry Brodribb, he took the name Irving for his first professional stage appearance in 1856. A long and exhausting apprenticeship followed, during which he played some 700 roles in theatres up and down the country before establishing his reputation in 1871 in the psychological thriller The Bells. In 1878, he took over the Lyceum and here, with his business manager Bram Stoker (1847-1912) and actress Ellen Terry (rumoured to be his mistress), he became the theatrical icon of his age. This engaging two-volume tribute by Stoker, his closest friend, was first published in 1906. Volume 2 includes a fascinating account of Irving's acting techniques and his receipt of a knighthood - the first actor to be thus honoured.

Intertextuelle Literatur liefert subversive und polyphone Zustandsbeschreibungen der Welt. Sie ist Gedächtnisort der Kultur, schreibt sich in diese ein und stiftet Identität. Intertextuelle Literatur wird damit zur Verwirklichung des Goetheschen Konzeptes von Weltliteratur. Unter all diesen Prämissen werden die Werke Günter Grass', Salman Rushdies und John Irvings in dieser Arbeit untersucht. Dabei entstehen differenzierte Bilder des 20. Jahrhunderts und seiner politischen und gesellschaftlichen Befindlichkeiten, die sich trotz der unterschiedlichen kulturellen Provenienz gegenseitig berühren und befruchten. Denn die Themen, die Bücher nicht nur für Grass zu «Überlebensmitteln» machen und seit jeher gemacht haben, davon wird auch in Zukunft und überall zu erzählen sein: Es geht um Verlust und Identität, um Geschichte und Gegengeschichte, um Wahrheit und Erinnerung.
