music in literature, intermediality, constrained writing, musico-literary studiesAbstract
This article aims to show why constrained writing and musico-literary studies are of great interest to each other. This interrelation allows us to show, firstly, that constrained creation is a transmedial phenomenon. Secondly, it allows us to export concepts from the field of music-literary studies to that of constrained writing in order to understand some of its manifestations, which includes the distinction between intracompositional and extracompositional constraints. Thirdly, it leads us to realize that some literary texts imitate music through the imposition of intracompositional constraints.
