Scott Rettberg is Professor of Digital Culture at the University of Bergen.
Winner of the 2019 N. Katherine Hayles Award for Criticism of
Electronic Literature �Electronic Literature demonstrates rare
common sense and an encyclopedic knowledge of works, theory,
contexts, and criticism. This is a significant and important book
by the field�s founder that will be the definitive work on
electronic literature now and for many years to come.�
N. Katherine Hayles, Duke University �Scott Rettberg provides an
excellent history of digital storytelling and poetry and points
to the future. Electronic Literature is a clear map of creative
writing�s conjunction with computing, a vital region of today�s
culture.�
Nick Montfort, author of The Truelist �Rarely do a historian
and his subject match so perfectly as Rettberg and the early days
of electronic literature. This authoritative account of the origins
of electronic literature covers all the genre�s forms, as well as
the people and institutions who helped found the field. A unique
and remarkable book.�
Robert Coover, novelist and Professor Emeritus of Literary Arts at
Brown University
