In this issue of JoDI
Miles has contributed three nodes to this issue of JoDI. In Intent
is Important (a sketch for a progressive criticism) he discusses the
question of authorial intent, arguing that hypertext criticism must not
only consider a work's literary merits but also consider how what may seem
technical imperfections can be intended, crucial aspects of a work.
In Reviewing versus Criticism
he explains the differences between these two ways of writing about a literary
work, arguing that the two are often confused, and that there are few examples
of applied critical writing about hypertext.
In There's No Need to Bite the Breast he uses
object relations psychology to explore the question of why hypertext critics
seem reluctant to ask hard questions of hypertext literature.
