Le continuazioni di Great Expectations. Uno sguardo d’insieme
Parole chiave:
Great Expectations, continuazioni, riscrittura, Estella, Magwitch, Jack Maggs
Abstract
Tra i romanzi di Charles Dickens Great Expectations (1861) costituisce indubbiamente un caso di particolare interesse per il numero di riscritture cui questo classico ha dato origine nel secolo e mezzo intercorso dalla sua pubblicazione. Tra le varie tipologie di riscrittura questo contributo intende focalizzarsi su tre continuazioni pubblicate tra gli anni Ottanta e Novanta del Novecento: Magwitch di Michael Noonan, Estella di Alanna Knight e Jack Maggs di Peter Carey. L’intento, davanti ai diversi effetti perseguiti da questi romanzi, è mettere in evidenza alcune strategie di riscrittura accomunanti queste opere e mostrare le differenti modalità con cui esse rispondono all’apertura del finale dickensiano.
