As the print tradition progresses steadily forward into an increasingly digital landscape it faces unprecedented challenges to its claim over the realm of literature and creative thought. This book examines the stylistic elements of the print tradition and analyzes their assumed roles within the increasingly popular tradition of the New Media object. Drawing on the research of such esteemed scholars as Katherine Hayles, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Lev Manovich, and John Shanahan, this book seeks to reflect on the benefits and drawbacks of critically reading an electronic text or novel in comparison to the traditional methodologies applied to print literature. It is of critical importance that a detailed understanding of both mediums is gained however, not only for the continued integrity of literary studies, but so protocols can be implemented allowing for more diversity in the manner with which students interact with such concepts as narrative and the act of reading.
