Tom Dale Keever muses, "I also note that Eliot fought all his life,
successfully, to keep his poetry from appearing is such a vulgar form as
a paperback book.  I wonder how he would feel if he knew he'd been
published in cyberspace."

Since we've been discussing copyrights and the internet, we might also
ask how Harcourt Brace & Company feel about this unusual website....

(By the way, I'm disappointed that the site doesn't offer a link the
Allman Brothers' album "Eat a Peach.")

Subject: 11.0355 A Hypertext Model
Comment:        RE: SHK 11.0355 A Hypertext Model

Although this is not the subject of our list, I would be more than a
little worried if someone used the Prufrock hypertext as a model for
hypertext on any Shakespeare.  Merely making visual images that work
better in words is a waste of technology.  Surely the worth of hypertext
lies in its ability to make connections of cognition that would
otherwise not be possible.  Illustrating poetic images through hypertext
, I think, places concrete limits on a reading rather than offering
means to explore ideas further.

Regards,
Scott Crozier
