Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,0, University of Wuppertal, language: English, abstract: This paper will deal with the intertextuality in Lloyd Jones' novel "Mister Pip" and the intermediality in the movie adaptation "Mr. Pip" by Andrew Adamson. Both use Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectations" as a reference. The paper will analyse this intertextuality and intermediality in order to find out which function the reference to "Great Expectation" take up in both media. So it can be measured whether the occurrence of Dickens' novel can be seen as a means of appropriation or writing-back. Therefore, the terms of intertextuality, intermediality, appropriation and writing-back will be explained at first so they can be applied to first the novel "Mister Pip" and following the movie "Mr. Pip" afterwards. At the end it will be stated what function the intertextuality/intermediality takes up in novel and movie and if these are means of appropriation or writing-back.
