Stuart Moulthrop's description of hypertext could also describe modernist texts such as T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land and Ezra Pound's Cantos: "Hypertext assumes a system where diverse and even antithetical statements coexist within a single structure, each capable of emerging in the act of reading."
Moulthrop's conception of hypertext as a site of convergence for opposing ideas about text, authority, and the social function of writing seems a development of ideas modernists like Eliot, Pound, and Marianne Moore expressed when discussing tradition, Imagism, and poetic allusiveness. Both modernist poetry and hypertext theory conceives of language as a web with links to literary and non-literary documents and conceives of the reader as a producer rather than a consumer of the text.
