Pynchon and Philosophy radically reworks our readings of Thomas
Pynchon alongside the theoretical perspectives of Wittgenstein,
Foucault and Adorno. Rigorous yet readable, Pynchon and Philosophy
seeks to recover philosophical readings of Pynchon that work
harmoniously, rather than antagonistically, resulting in a wholly
fresh approach. Dr. Martin Paul Eve is a lecturer in literature at
the University of Lincoln, UK. In addition to editing the open
access journal of Pynchon Studies, Orbit, he has work published or
forthcoming in Textual Practise, Neo-Victorian Studies, C21,
Pynchon Notes and several edited collections. This book was

If you work in a university, you are almost certain to have heard
the term 'open access' in the past couple of years. You may also
have heard either that it is the utopian answer to all the problems
of research dissemination or perhaps that it marks the beginning of
an apocalyptic new era of 'pay-to-say' publishing. In this book,
Martin Paul Eve sets out the histories, contexts and controversies
for open access, specifically in the humanities. Broaching
practical elements alongside economic histories, open licensing,
monographs and funder policies, this book is a must-read for both
those new to ideas about open-access scholarly communications and
those with an already keen interest in the latest developments for
the humanities. This title is also available as Open Access via
Cambridge Books Online.
This Element describes for the first time the database of peer
review reports at PLOS ONE, the largest scientific journal in the
world, to which the authors had unique access. Specifically, this
Element presents the background contexts and histories of peer
review, the data-handling sensitivities of this type of research,
the typical properties of reports in the journal to which the
authors had access, a taxonomy of the reports, and their sentiment
arcs. This unique work thereby yields a compelling and
unprecedented set of insights into the evolving state of peer
review in the twenty-first century, at a crucial political moment
for the transformation of science. It also, though, presents a
study in radicalism and the ways in which PLOS's vision for science
can be said to have effected change in the ultra-conservative
contemporary university. This title is also available as Open
Access on Cambridge Core.

Most contemporary digital studies are interested in distant-reading
paradigms for large-scale literary history. This book asks what
happens when such telescopic techniques function as a microscope
instead. The first monograph to bring a range of computational
methods to bear on a single novel in a sustained fashion, it
focuses on the award-winning and genre-bending Cloud Atlas (2004).
Published in two very different versions worldwide without anyone
taking much notice, David Mitchell's novel is ideal fodder for a
textual-genetic publishing history, reflections on micro-tectonic
shifts in language by authors who move between genres, and
explorations of how we imagine people wrote in bygone eras. Though
Close Reading with Computers focuses on but one novel, it has a
crucial exemplary function: author Martin Paul Eve demonstrates a
set of methods and provides open-source software tools that others
can use in their own literary-critical practices. In this way, the
project serves as a bridge between users of digital methods and
those engaged in more traditional literary-critical endeavors.

A comprehensive overview into digital literary studies that equips
readers to navigate the difficult contentions in this space. The
Literary Agenda is a series of short polemical monographs about the
importance of literature and of reading in the wider world and
about the state of literary education inside schools and
universities. The category of 'the literary' has always been
contentious. What is clear, however, is how increasingly it is
dismissed or is unrecognised as a way of thinking or an arena for
thought. It is sceptically challenged from within, for example, by
the sometimes rival claims of cultural history, contextualized
explanation, or media studies. It is shaken from without by even
greater pressures: by economic exigency and the severe social
attitudes that can follow from it; by technological change that may
leave the traditional forms of serious human communication looking
merely antiquated. For just these reasons this is the right time
for renewal, to start reinvigorated work into the meaning and value
of literary reading. You may have heard of the digital
humanities-and what you may have heard may not have been good. Yet
like an oncoming storm, the relentless growth of the use of digital
methods for the study of literature seems inevitable. This book
gives an insight into the ways in which digital approaches can be
used to study literature and the ways in which humanistic study can
be used to explore digital literature. Examining its subject across
the axes of authorship, space, and visualization, maps and place,
distance and history, and ethical approaches to the digital
humanities, this book introduces newcomers to the topic while also
offering plenty for seasoned digital humanities pros. Combining
original research with third-party case studies and examples, this
book will appeal both to students and researchers across all levels
who wish to learn about digital literary studies.
