This book provides an accessible introduction to, and overview of,
the digital humanities, one of the fastest growing areas of
literary studies. Lane takes a unique approach by focusing on the
technologies and the new environment in which the digital
humanities largely takes place: the digital laboratory. The book
provides a brief history of DH, explores and explains the
methodologies of past and current DH projects, and offers resources
such as detailed case studies and bibliographies. Further, the
focus on the digital laboratory space reveals affiliations with the
types of research that have traditionally taken place in the
sciences, as well as convergences with other fast-growing research
spaces, namely innovation labs, fabrication labs, maker spaces,
digital media labs, and change labs. The volume highlights the
profound transformation of literary studies that is underway, one
in which the adoption of powerful technology - and concomitantly
being situated within a laboratory environment - is leading to an
important re-engagement in the arts and humanities, and a renewed
understanding of literary studies in the digital age, as well as a
return to large-scale financial investment in humanistic research.
It will be useful to students and teachers, as well as
administrators and managers in charge of research infrastructure
and funding decisions who need an accessible overview of this
technological transformation in the humanities. Combining useful
detail and an overview of the field, the book will offers
accessible entry into this rapidly growing field.
