J. Yellowlees Douglas Biography

J. Yellowlees Douglas is one of the most popular and richest Literary Critic who was born on June 25, 1962 in Detroit, United States. Douglas was born June 25, 1962 in Detroit, Michigan. She did not have a first name apart from the initial ‘J.’ but found that it was misstated so often that she adopted “Jane’ as her first name.

Douglas has written over two dozen articles, short stories, and a book about the development, structure, and uses of hypertext. In a 1991 article—quite early in the development of hypertext as a new literary medium—she argued for hypertext as offering an alternative to an “either/or” view of reality in the form of an “and/and/and” structure.

Douglas was a contestant on Jeopardy! on March 8, 2013. In interviews and forum postings about this experience, Douglas revealed that her godmother is the actress Maggie Smith.

Douglas is recognized for having discovered a node in Michael Joyce’s hypertext novel Afternoon: a story that had no inbound links. In discussions about the novel, the node became known as “Jane’s space” because she was the first to remark on its orphan status. She became implicated in revisions to this node, which originally (1987 edition) featured only a single phrase from Jung, “Man… never perceives anything”, but later (1990 edition) included a second line: “and only Jane Yellowlees Douglas has read this line”.
