Abstract
With this issue of Moveable Type, we hope to set in motion a new wave of interest in ambient literature, seeking new insight into the patterns and thematics of ambient writing and bringing to light discussions left unresolved by various critiques of ambience. Our issue theme of Ambience presents a conversation between a group of scholars, writers and reviewers who locate ambient literatures beyond apps and web browsers, identify new research trajectories, and challenge definitions of ambient literature, countering its contemporariness and reliance on technology by foregrounding precursors to ambient literature. We suggest that these developments be considered beyond a distraction or aberrant offshoot of book history; as contiguous with historic reader response practice; and that they may come to be an important component or even central element of composition and reception.
