Editorial Reviews

Review

"Challenges the reader... Because it invites (and nearly requires) readers to place themselves in more than one position: as a student of communication theory, as a student of computer science, as a student of academic publishing, or as a student of literature." -- Paul Baker, Education PR Blog



Review

"Landow['s]... presentation is measured, experiential, lucid, moderate, and sensible. He merely points out that the concept 'hypertext' lets us test some concepts associated with critical theory, and gracefully shows how the technology is contributing to reconfigurations of text, author, narrative, and (literary) education." -- Postmodern Culture, reviewing a previous edition or volume



"Worth reading, whether one's initial mood is enthusiasm, skepticism, or simple curiosity." -- Contemporary Sociology, reviewing a previous edition or volume



"A bold and enthusiastic prediction of the impact of hypertext on literature and pedagogy." -- Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature, reviewing a previous edition or volume



"In this insightful and readable volume, Landow explores the relationship between contemporary literary and social theory and the latest advances in computer software." -- Voice Literary Supplement, reviewing a previous edition or volume

2.0 out of 5 stars Excruciating, November 18, 2007
By Wignall "Wigs" (Hobart, IN USA) - See all my reviews
Landow squeezes 20 pages of insight into over 400 pages of some of the most convoluted and repetitive writing to ever be labeled 'critical theory.' This book has little to do with technology or hypermedia as a form of communication. He reminds us, and again suggests, and then points out, and later reminds us again that hypermedia is different from books and periodicals printed on paper. This insight, delivered through meandering and pointless prose, often obscured by subordinate 'critical' statements, is not much of an insight. Using work done in the 1980s and 90s Landow suggests a great reconfiguring of narrative, of writing, and of authors (or authorship- but that's not clear). Much, much better books covering far more ground are "Convergence Culture" by Henry Jenkins and "Radiant Textuality" by McGann.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, challenging, and geeky, August 22, 2007
As more writers create and distribute their work in hypertext it's important to think about how dramatically that is changing the humanities, arts, and culture in general. Landow guides us through this process, drawing from his experience as a professor of English and art history at Brown University. A long time user of hypermedia in teaching and writing, he observes that the worlds of literary theory and computer hypertext have increasingly converged over the past couple decades. This is a brilliant, challenging, and somewhat dense book, and will appeal to the geek in anyone.
