Editing Pastiche (section)

===Literature===
{{see also|Dionysian imitatio}}
In literary usage, the term denotes a [[literary technique]] employing a generally light-hearted tongue-in-cheek imitation of another's style; although jocular, it is usually respectful. The word implies a lack of originality or coherence, an imitative jumble, but with the advent of [[postmodernism]], pastiche has become positively construed as a deliberate, witty homage or playful imitation.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Bowen |first1=C. |title=Pastiche |date=2012 |publisher=Princeton Encyclopedia of Poetry and Poetics |isbn=978-1-4008-4142-4 |page=1005}}</ref>

For example, many stories featuring [[Sherlock Holmes]], originally penned by [[Arthur Conan Doyle]], have been written as pastiches since the author's time.<ref name="RL">{{cite web |url=http://criminalbrief.com/?p=8047 |title=Pastiche Nuts |last=Lopresti |first=Rob |date=2009-08-12 |work=Tune It Or Die! |publisher=Criminal Brief |access-date=2010-01-10}}</ref><ref name="LL">{{cite web |url=http://criminalbrief.com/?p=125 |title=When Good Characters Go Bad |last=Lundin |first=Leigh |date=2007-07-15 |work=ADD Detective |publisher=Criminal Brief |access-date=2010-01-10}}</ref> [[Ellery Queen]] and [[Nero Wolfe]] are other popular subjects of mystery parodies and pastiches.<ref name="DA">{{cite web |url=http://criminalbrief.com/?p=3561 |title=The Pastiche |last=Andrews |first=Dale |date=2008-10-28 |work=Mystery Masterclass |publisher=Criminal Brief |access-date=2010-01-10}}</ref><ref name="DM">{{cite web |url=http://www.themysteryplace.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=241 |title=Pastiche vs. fan fiction.

A similar example of pastiche is the posthumous continuations of the [[Robert E. Howard]] stories, written by other writers without Howard's authorization. This includes the [[Conan the Barbarian]] stories of [[L. Sprague de Camp]] and [[Lin Carter]].
[[David Lodge (author)|David Lodge]]'s novel ''[[The British Museum Is Falling Down]]'' ([[1965 in literature|1965]]) is a pastiche of works by [[James Joyce|Joyce]], [[Franz Kafka|Kafka]], and [[Virginia Woolf]]. In 1991, [[Alexandra Ripley]] wrote the novel ''[[Scarlett (Ripley novel)|Scarlett]]'', a pastiche of ''[[Gone with the Wind (novel)|Gone with the Wind]]'', in an unsuccessful attempt to have it recognized as a [[Canon (fiction)|canonical]] sequel.

In 2017, [[John Banville]] published ''Mrs. Osmond'', a sequel to [[Henry James]]'s ''[[The Portrait of a Lady]]'', written in a style similar to that of James.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Elliott |first1=Helen |title=Mrs Osmond review: John Banville takes on Isabel Archer after Portrait of a Lady |url=https://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/books/mrs-osmond-review-john-banville-takes-on-isabel-archer-after-portrait-of-a-lady-20180222-h0whl3.html |newspaper=The Sydney Morning Herald |date=22 February 2018 |access-date=8 March 2019 }}</ref> In 2018, [[Ben Schott]] published ''[[Jeeves and the King of Clubs]]'', an homage to [[P.
