_Electronic Literature_ considers new forms and genres of writing
that exploit the capabilities of computers and networks - literature
that would not be possible without the contemporary digital context.
In this book, Rettberg places the most significant genres of
electronic literature in historical, technological, and cultural
contexts. These include combinatory poetics, hypertext
fiction, interactive fiction (and other game-based digital literary
work), kinetic and interactive poetry, and networked writing based on
our collective experience of the Internet. He argues that electronic
literature demands to be read both through the lens of experimental
literary practices dating back to the early twentieth century and
through the specificities of the technology and software used to
produce the work.
Considering electronic literature as a subject in totality, this book
provides a vital introduction to a dynamic field that both reacts to
avant-garde literary and art traditions and generates new forms of
narrative and poetic work particular to the twenty-first century. It
is essential reading for students and researchers in disciplines
including literary studies, media and communications, art, and
creative writing.
