Table of ContentsReviewsComments on the first edition: Bolter has provided a superbly clear, thorough, and theoretically sophisticated discussion of the computer as a medium for writing, as contextualized within the history of writing. -Journal of Communication Comments on the first edition: This is a notable book, essential to a balanced understanding of the role played by the computer in the development of literature and thought in our time. -American Scientist Comments on the first edition: What makes this a fascinating study is the way in which the author throughout compares and contrasts electronic writing and its tacit presuppositions with the values and strategies of earlier writing technologies. -Religious Studies Review The second edition of Writing Space will serve as a touchstone text for readers who haven't read the first edition and perhaps would be most useful in undergraduate or graduate classes that focus on the historical context of hypertext studies. -Technical Communication Quarterly Praise for the first edition: This book combines a deep understanding of technology and of the history of literature and culture, making it unique in depth, breadth, understanding--and therefore, unique in its importance to all of us, be we humanist, technologist, or just everyday reader. -Donald Norman University of California at San Diego; author, The Design of Everyday Things Praise for the first edition: It may well be that Writing Space does for electronic writing what Gutenberg did for print. -Brian Eno in Art Forum "Comments on the first edition: ""Bolter has provided a superbly clear, thorough, and theoretically sophisticated discussion of the computer as a medium for writing, as contextualized within the history of writing."" —Journal of Communication Comments on the first edition: ""This is a notable book, essential to a balanced understanding of the role played by the computer in the development of literature and thought in our time."" —American Scientist Comments on the first edition: ""What makes this a fascinating study is the way in which the author throughout compares and contrasts electronic writing and its tacit presuppositions with the values and strategies of earlier writing technologies."" —Religious Studies Review ""The second edition of Writing Space will serve as a touchstone text for readers who haven't read the first edition and perhaps would be most useful in undergraduate or graduate classes that focus on the historical context of hypertext studies."" —Technical Communication Quarterly Praise for the first edition: ""This book combines a deep understanding of technology and of the history of literature and culture, making it unique in depth, breadth, understanding--and therefore, unique in its importance to all of us, be we humanist, technologist, or just everyday reader."" —Donald Norman University of California at San Diego; author, The Design of Everyday Things Praise for the first edition: ""It may well be that Writing Space does for electronic writing what Gutenberg did for print."" —Brian Eno in Art Forum" Author InformationJay David Bolter Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
