Cryptic Subtexts in Literature and Film - Secret Messages and Buried Treasure

Summary

What Steven Walker labels a cryptic subtext, is an extreme case of hypertextuality. It involves a series of allusions to another text that have been inserted by the author into the primary text as potential points of reference. This book takes a deep dive into a broad array of literature and film to explore allusions and hidden messages therein.
