Traditional printed texts and hypertexts are not fundamentally
different. Actually they have more in common than is commonly
assumed, and they thus can be analysed well within the parameters
of established categories of literary theory. Against this
background it seems striking that a number of theoretical treatises
by early hypertext theorists such as Landow, Bolter, or Joyce refer
to the revolutionary character of this kind of writing, the amazing
technological development that lies behind it, and the almost
miraculous convergence of postmodern literary concepts and
hypertext. These treatises can be criticised for foregrounding
technological innovations to a disproportional extent, while
lacking both elaborate theoretical foundation and support from
actual close analyses of hypertextual narratives. Especially
hypertexts which are published on the internet have not been
accounted for in a substantial way. Therefore, the present
dissertation aims to provide the necessary theoretical framework
for a close literary analysis of hyperfiction on the internet.
