Hypermedia and Literary Studies ReviewAlthough somewhat dated, Landow and Delany's collection of essays brings together early work (1980s) by scholars interested in thinking about the implications of hypertext within the humanities. Terence Harpold's "Threnody: Psychoanalytic Digressions on the Subject of Hypertext" is widely referenced. While arguably over-invested in poststructuralist literary theory at the expense of visual cultural studies, this volume cannot be ignore by serious students of hypermedia. Landow and Delany's opening essay is particularly valuable for its summarizing of what was then current thought on hypertext as an expressive form.Hypermedia and Literary Studies OverviewConsider a work from Shakespeare. Imagine, as you read it, being able tocall up instantly the Elizabethan usage of a particular word, variant texts for anypart of the work, critical commentary, historically relevant facts, or oralinterpretations by different sets of actors. This is the sort of richlyinterconnected, immediately accessible literary universe that can be created byhypertext (electronically linked texts) and hypermedia (the extension of linkages tovisual and aural material).The essays in Hypermedia and Literary Studies discuss thetheoretical and practical opportunities and challenges posed by the convergence ofhypermedia systems and traditional written texts. They range from the theory anddesign of literary hypermedia to reports of actual hypermedia projects fromsecondary school to university and from educational and scholarly to creativeapplications in poetry and fiction.George P. Landow is Professor of English and Artat Brown University. Paul Delany is Professor of English at Simon Fraser University,British Columbia, Canada.Contents.
