El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la primera novela de Charles Palliser -El Quincunx (1989)- a la luz del papel central que desempeña la intertextualidad en la literatura posmodernista en general y en la metaficción británica contemporánea, en particular. El Quincunx tiene todos los ingredientes de la novela realista tradicional. Sin embargo, a pesar de todos los ecos y reverberaciones de una amplia gama de obras decimonónicas con las que el lector es libre de trazar relaciones, The Quincunx no constituye una imitación inocente sino, más bien, una reescritura paródica de sus intertextos victorianos (principalmente dickensianos). Un aspecto particular de la novela -el uso y el patrón de las voces narrativas- ha sido analizado en detalle como medio para ilustrar el modo en que la parodia puede convertirse en un maravilloso vehículo para expresar las preocupaciones del presente a través de la literatura del pasado.
