Based on this week’s reading by Adrian Miles on Reconfiguring hypertext. On every digital narrative, we must remind ourselves, does not neccesarily take the form of hypertext. A case in point appears in Christy Sheffield Sanford’s visually elegant World Wide Web function, Safara in the beginning (1996), which the author describes as “a web novel” written in the spirit of the classical tragedy about “a young African princess taken as a slave from Senegal to Martinique”.
