Description - Hypertext in Hypertext: An Expanded, Electronic Version of "Hypertext: the Convergence of Critical Theory and Technology": Ms Windows by George P. Landow
In "Hypertext", George Landow described how a information technology was giving readers instant, easy access to a virtual library of sources as well as unprecedented control of what - and how - they read. He also pointed out that hypertext represented a literal embodiment of some major points of contemporary literary theory particularly Derrida's idea of "de-centering" and Barthes's conception of the "readerly" versus "writerly" text. In "Hypertext in Hypertext", Landow has assembled an expanded electronic "translation" of the original book which both tests and demonstrates the principles he set forth. Containing more than twice the material of the 240-page print edition, it links the actual text of Landow's book with a network of new and related information. It includes published reviews of the book itself, selected writings of Derrida and other critical theorists, entries from the "Johns Hopkins Guide to Literary Theory and Criticism", and student comments on - and interventions in - the text.
