An Application of Hypertext to Literary Research and Education

1997年，每个研究人员都接受了编写超文本的基本知识和技能的培训。1998年，中村和佐佐木收集了赫尔曼·梅尔维尔和查尔斯·狄更斯研究的几乎所有材料，并从事输入工作。佐佐木编纂并注明了托马斯·哈代的《埃塞尔贝塔之手》，并于1998年在伦敦出版。这本书是佐佐木完成的，将获得的编写超文本的知识和技能应用于托马斯·哈代研究(这是佐佐木的另一个特长)，是这个项目的副产品。和岛(其特长是弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫研究)着手注释纳博科夫最难的两部作品《苍白的火》和《艾达》，并汇编了两部超文本，使读者能够对这两部作品进行交叉引用和非线性阅读。Wakashima的文章《反重力的想象-乔伊斯，纳博科夫，卡尔维诺》发表于1998年，是一篇寻找技术与文学之间的接口的文章，也是该项目将技术知识应用于文学研究和教育的相同尝试。该项目的上述成果的总结和样本将在1999年3月出版的小册子中报告。

In 1997, each investigator trained himself to acquire the basic knowledge and skill for compiling a hypertext.In 1998, Nakamura and Sasaki collected almost all the materials for Herman Melville and Charles Dickens studies and engaged in inputting them. Sasaki compiled and noted Thomas Hardy's The Hand of Ethelberta and published it in London, 1998. The book was completed by Sasaki, applying the acquired knowledge and skill of compiling a hypertext to Thomas Hardy study (which is another speciality of Sasaki) and is a by-product of this project.Wakashima (whose speciality is Vladimir Nabokov study) set out to annotate on two of Nabokov's most difficult works, Pale Fire and Ada and compiled two hypertexts which enable readers to make the cross-reference and non-linear reading of these two works. Wakashima's article 'An Imagination of Antigravity-Joyce, Nabokov, Calvino' published in 1998, is an essay to search for the interface between technology and literature, the same attempt of this project to apply the technological knowledge to literary research and education.The summary and samples of the above result of this project will be reported in the booklet which is to be published in March, 1999.
