thinking about hypertext

Although 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.
