While still a student at Cambridge, I was invited by Adrian Poole to deliver a lecture to the final year English undergraduate students on the subject of "Tragedy in Electronic Literature" -- as part of the faculty's English Tripos lectures, which are normally given by faculty..

In advance of the lecture, Clare Hooper and I chaired a related panel at the 2007 annual Hypertext Conference. Panelists were Nick Lowe (Classics), Kieron O'Hara (Philosophy), Dave Millard (Computer Science), and Emily Short (Writer and Classicist).

• Notes from ACM Hypertext Panel on Tragedy in Electronic Literature

My lecture at Cambridge, which also included live demos:

• Introduced Electronic Literature
• Compared the development of literary technique in 5th century Athens to the early development of electronic literature
• Examined attempts by writers and academics to appropriate "Tragedy" into electronic literature
• Considered examples of what might be Tragedy in Electronic Literature

While listening to my talk, students could also browse a single-purpose WIFI network with additional notes and resources.
