| Abstract: | Peter Ackroyd’s fictional devices are analyzed with a view to reveal the postmodern frame of mind that informs novels such as “Chatterton” and “Hawksmoor”. Special attention is given to frame breaking, linguistic games, intertextuality and the issue of authenticity and forgery. The hybridity of the fictional genre, namely the anti-detective and pseudo-historic form, is seen as another device for enhancing the postmodern atmosphere of confusion, indeterminacy and ambiguity. |
