Anticipatory plagiarism

Anticipatory plagiarism is a concept first introduced by the Oulipo group of poets. The concept involves the study of historical literature to uncover works which either use, or refer to, constraint- or rule-based writing methods as defined by members of the Oulipo group. The Oulipo poets called these past writers 'anticipatory plagiarists'.[1][2]

The paradoxical concept of anticipatory plagiarism has more recently been proposed as an analytical tool with reference to Russian studies.[3]
