Abstract
The paper investigates the unity of theatrical and musical arts as supplementary communication tools employed by the literary medium. The literary practice of integrating music and drama into a novel is seen through the prism of intermediality-based processes employed by modernist writers, namely E. M. Forster in his novel Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905). It is revealed that the integration of a dramatic-musical medium and theatre-based conflict into the literary work enhances and deepens the intercultural conflict depicted by the writer, as well as links supporting artistic layers through the intermedia-based principle of fragmentation. Even though the matters under study refer to the beginning of the XX century, the principles applied by Forster remain unchanged and similar literary practices can be seen both in contemporary literature and new media forms, including digital media, pop art and mass art. The paper concludes that integrating other arts into literary forms supports the multi-layer depictions, the extension of the context of a creative artefact, as well as helps establish the polyphonic arts and art forms.
