Landow's Hypertext

George Landow, wrote a seminal work entitled HyperText. This book applies critical literary theory to the study of the impact of hypertext. He provides several key concepts that contribute to our understanding of the WEB, specifically those aspect of critical theory concerned with textuality, narrative, and the roles of reader and writer. These concepts provide the theoretical underpinning for several of the key WEB paradigms. The following of Landow's concepts will contribute to our study of the WEB:

Blurring of the role of author and reader.
Nonlinearity and MultiLinearity.
Metadocument.
