Archive Update

Update to archive: As of Dec. 01, 2020, the Fanny Fern Archive will start to utilize hypertext throughout Fern's columns to create a metadata of sorts within the original works of Fanny Fern. Hypertext will be implemented in words that reference certain places, people, and objects. This implementation of hypertext is done in an effort to create networked nodes of knowledge throughout Fern's narrative columns that better highlight her own situational and experiential knowledge, sharing her own meta-narrative story in addition to the stories of others that she told, as a counter-narrative against a dominant framework. This hypertext composition also provides the reader with ancillary knowledge that further contextualizes Fern's work (and the experiential knowledge within in) with the opportunity to interpret that knowledge in a plurality of ways.
