| Sumario: | The present article purports to delve into a singular deployment of intertextuality stemming from the fusion of two triads of doppelgängers, whose stories, which linger as fragments in the popular cultural imaginary, become additionally intertwined with the mythical tale of Apollo and Daphne. This interlacing of characters harnessed from various hypotexts takes place at the narrative core of the romantic neo-Gothic novel Arrow Chest (2011) authored by British writer Robert Stephen Parry. The article analyzes the multiple interrogations which, as a neo-Victorian text, it poses in relation to a variety of features concerning contemporary culture. Such impeachment pertains to the concept of the hyperreality that characterizes contemporary societies organized on the principle of simulation as well as the new popular epistemologies used for the consumption of history in the form of historiocopia and historioglosia. |
