1. A method for producing an electronic literary macramé of texts from a literary work, comprising the steps of: breaking the literary work down into scene text files and reference text files; establishing a set of reference hypertext files derived from the reference text files; establishing multiple sequences of reading for scenes; establishing a set of scene hypertext files by linking among scene text files of the literary work and linking the scene hypertext files to the reference hypertext files; converting the work into browser-compatible form; incorporating supplementary hypertext links in each scene hypertext file; incorporating special presentation features in one or more scene hypertext files; linking the reference hypertext files back to the scene hypertext files of the work, and linking the reference hypertext files among and within themselves; suppressing the conventional marking of browser links; defining and using background, muted supporting windows to display reference hypertext files; and generating a collection of interlinked browser-ready files comprising the literary macramé wherein the step of establishing multiple sequences of reading for scenes further comprises the steps of: presenting the author with a means for selecting sequencing criteria for creating each sequence of scenes; compiling the author's selections of criteria for creating each sequence of scenes into a sequence of identified scenes; creating multiple sequences of identified scenes to create interwoven sequences of narrative.

The method of claim 1 wherein the step of presenting unobtrusively all uniquely-identified hypertext links from each scene hypertext file in each alternative sequence of reading to the next scene hypertext file in a form allowing the reader to choose any presented alternative sequence upon finishing the reading of any scene hypertext file further comprises the steps of: presenting invisibly each uniquely-identified hypertext links from each scene hypertext file in each alternative sequence of reading upon initial presentation to the reader; presenting visibly each uniquely-identified hypertext links from each scene hypertext file in each alternative sequence of reading upon the reader's selection of a defined region of the display of the scene hypertext file; presenting visibly the linked scene hypertext file upon the reader's further selection of a defined region of the display of the scene hypertext file.
