Literary hypertext - toward a new kind of media representation

We analyze the characteristic of novels and hypertext on the basis of rhetoric. The form of conventional linear text compiled with the structure of the title, table of contents, chapter, section and paragraph. Text is relying on the physical constraint such as paper or book. On the other hand, hypertext can show the information that the author wants to convey firstly to the front. And it hides other information and makes the link form. Such structure frees the order that the reader acquires information unlike the information transmission by conventional linear text. This research aims to make the base that obtains the technique of two-way conversion.
