AB The English intellectual and artistic spheres spontaneously reacted to the Spanish Civil War, travelling to the country, writing about their experiences in Spain, and forging what was to become a popular literary phenomenon. Ever since then, works contextualized in the conflict have been approached through historicist standpoints. These have neglected to consider a central aspect of this kind of literary productions: that they normally recount personal experiences, and thus, they are acts of remembrance. This study will be looking at intertextuality in two prominent works, Homage to Catalonia and A Moment of War, in order to explore the methods employed by both authors to reconcile their intimate insights on the war with external data which, after their experiences, has been regarded as historically relevant. This thesis will suggest that both George Orwell and Laurie Lee, even if differently branded with regards to objectivity, employ similar techniques in the incorporation of impersonal information.
