Hypertextuality

Encyclopedia : H : HY : HYP : Hypertextuality


Hypertextuality is a postmodern theory of the inter-connectedness of all literary works and their interpretation.

The prefix 'hyper' is derived from the Greek 'above, beyond or oustide'. Hence hypertext has come to describe a text which provides a network of links to other texts that are 'outside, beyond and above itself'.
