Allusions in Ballard's 'The Drowned World.'

Article Abstract:

'The Drowned World' (1962) clearly illustrates author J.G. Ballard's use of one writing approach associated with modernism and of allusions to imply similarities between his work and that of earlier writers. Allusions in this book are examined, particularly those pertaining to the works of Joseph Conrad, Daniel Defoe and John Keats. Direct references to Adam and Eve in 'The Drowned World' are also analyzed.
