Canonising Hypertext: Explorations and Constructions

Writing for scholars, instructors, and students of literature, Ensslin (new media, U. of Wales-Bangor) seeks to help canonize literary hypertext as a step toward promoting and teaching the written word among people increasingly oriented toward hypermedia. In addition to proposing an initial hypertext canon, she discusses such aspects as hypertextual ontologies, conceptual adaptations to literary competence, and hypertext in the literary classroom.
