Readerly/Writerly Texts 2 (1996): 135-48.

Description
The selectivity of oral performance and scribal practice parallels the selectivity of hypertext presentation, raising questions about the order of the tales in CT. In MilP, the narrator enjoins readers to arrange the tales as they wish, adumbrating options potentially available in hypertext editions.
