The article is devoted to the precedent phenomenon analysis in the novels of John Fowles. The significance of the appeal to precedent phenomena can be explained by their usage peculiarities in the texts of different genres. Recently precedent phenomena are under study by many researchers. Precedent phenomena are used as a means of the pragmatic impact intensification. Every phenomenon has two meanings: one of them has come from the original text, and there's another one that's been created by an author. A reader has to choose whether to recognize the phenomenon and appeal to the original text or to continue reading without recognition. A text is a dialogue between the author and the reader where the second one has to work on the text, trying to decipher the author's main message. Intertextuality and precedence are related and compared in the article. Intertextuality is “the text inside of the text”, where there's a connection between different texts. It's observed with precedent texts or precedent phenomena in the research. Speaking abot precedence, this is about the notions which are quotable and known to a wide group of people and are remembered by many generations. Intertextuality is a wider notion than precedence. Analyzed intertextual inclusions are represented with allusions to precedent phenomena in the novels of John Fowles “The French Lieutenant's Woman” and “The Collector”. There are two levels of precedence. Universal precedent phenomena are represented by allusions to the biblical and Greek myths. National precedent phenomena are represented by allusions to the literary heritage of Shakespare. Precedent phenomena are a tool for John Fowles to hide a certain meaning.
