In contemporary English children's literature, cultural transformation and intertextuality function as interrelated processes. Intertextuality operates not merely as an artistic device but as a mechanism for preserving and transforming cultural meanings. This thesis provides teachers with theoretical and practical foundations for analyzing cultural shifts in children's literature and applying intertextual reading strategies in the classroom.
