    • 2018, Zsófia Lóránd, The Feminist Challenge to the Socialist State in Yugoslavia, page 112:
      In order to keep the generic autoreferences, the plot was changed from the writing of a novel into the making of a film, the main character not being a writer-narrator, but a film director.
    • Oliver Jahraus, Autoreferentiality, Autoreflexivity, Selftransparency, in 2019, Self-reflection in Literature (page 20)
      Whatever I may perceive or imagine, i.e. an external reference, must be reduced to autoreference. An eloquent example is Novalis's novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen (1800/1802). The text shows that the hero's way into a strange world is always simultaneously a way back to himself and to his self.
