Abstract

V originále

The postmodern age has embraced ambiguity as one of its essential concepts. This paper examines some aspects of ambiguity in two sets of British contemporary novels, roughly distinguished by their realistic or experimental mode, with the aim to show that the postmodern is not necessarily the defining underlying element of the presence of ambiguity in the texts.
