More pastiche?

[Richard Payton]

Maybe Burroughs' appropriation of the language of Westerns and private eye
novels in, say, The Place of Dead Roads or Cities of the Red Night.

Subject: More pastiche?

Recently I've become rather interested in the way contemporary writers 
imitate the style and the language characteristic of the writing during the 
previous centuries. The most facsinating instances of pastiche to my 
knowledge are The Sot-Weed Factor, Hawksmoor, and, of course, Mason & Dixon.

But there should be more. Could anyone tell me about other successful 
attempts at recreating the language of a certain epoch, without necessarily 
confining oneself to English language literature?
