1. The End of Books

   Coover's "The End of Books" essay in the New York Times significantly introduced hypertext fiction to a wider literary audience. The essay describes that ways that hypertext poses challenges for writers and readers accustomed to coventional narrative forms, including assumptions about linearity, closure, and the division of agency between the writer and reader.

3. The Grotesque Corpus

   Beginning by discussing his experience of reading the hypertexts in WOE (the Words on the Edge collection), Harpold uses bodily and fleshy comparisons to analyse hypertext: "My goal in this essay is to draw upon the entanglements of hypertext anatomy to outline a stylistics of hypertext informed by its contours. The practice of hypertext as a way of writing and reading is determined by its formal traits as a way of conversation. Medium as meat, reading as peristalsis."

6. The text and cultural politics

   The school curriculum is not neutral knowledge. Rather, what counts as legitimate knowledge is the result of complex power relations, struggles, and compromises among identifiable class, race, gender, and religious groups. A good deal of conceptual and empirical progress has been made in the last 2 decades in answering the question of whose knowledge becomes socially legitimate in schools. Yet, little attention has actually been paid to that one arti-fact that plays such a major role in defining whose culture is taught–the textbook. In this article, I discuss ways of approaching texts as embodiments of a larger process of cultural politics. Analyses of them must focus on the complex power relationships involved in their production, contexts, use, and reading. I caution us against employing overly reductive kinds of perspectives and point to the importance of newer forms of textual analysis that stress the politics of how students actually create meanings around texts. Finally, I point to some of the implications of all this for our discussions of curriculum policy.

7. "What hypertexts can do that print narratives cannot"

   'In this article, the author situates hypertext fiction readers in a binary relationship with their print counterparts. The hypertext reader is compared to the print reader in terms of the choices each medium allows.'
