Transformative Digital Humanities takes a two-pronged approach to
the digital humanities: it examines the distinct kinds of work
currently being undertaken in the field, while also addressing
current issues in the digital humanities, including sustainability,
accessibility, interdisciplinarity, and funding. With contributions
from humanities and LIS scholars based in China, Canada, England,
Germany, Spain, and the United States, this collection of case
studies provides a framework for readers to develop new projects as
well as to see how existing projects might continue to develop over
time. This volume also participates in the current digital
humanities conversation by bringing forward emerging voices that
offer new options for cooperation, by demonstrating how the digital
humanities can become a tool for activism, and by illustrating the
potential of the digital humanities to reexamine and reconstitute
existing canons. Transformative Digital Humanities considers what
sorts of challenges still exist in the field and suggests how they
might be addressed. As such, the book will be essential reading for
academics and students engaged in the study of information science
and digital humanities. It should also be of great interest to
practitioners around the globe.
The essays in this collection examine the connections between the
forces of empire and women's lives in the early Americas, in
particular the ways their narratives contributed to empire
formation. Focusing on the female body as a site of contestation,
the essays describe acts of bravery, subversion, and survival
expressed in a variety of genres, including the saga, letter,
diary, captivity narrative, travel narrative, verse, sentimental
novel, and autobiography. The volume also speaks to a range of
female experience, across the Americas and across time, from the
Viking exploration to early nineteenth-century United States,
challenging scholars to reflect on the implications of early
American literature even to the present day.

The ethnically diverse scope, broad chronological coverage, and mix
of biographical, critical, historical, political, and cultural
entries make this the most useful and exciting poetry reference of
its kind for students today. American poetry springs up out of all
walks of life; its poems are "maternal as well as
paternal...stuff'd with the stuff that is coarse and stuff'd with
the stuff that is fine," as Walt Whitman wrote, adding "Of every
hue and caste am I, of every rank and religion." Written for high
school and undergraduate students, this two-volume encyclopedia
covers U.S. poetry from the Colonial era to the present, offering
full treatments of hundreds of key poets of the American canon.
What sets this reference apart is that it also discusses events,
movements, schools, and poetic approaches, placing poets in their
social, historical, political, cultural, and critical contexts and
showing how their works mirror the eras in which they were written.
Readers will learn about surrealism, ekphrastic poetry, pastoral
elegy, the Black Mountain poets, and "language" poetry. There are
long and rich entries on modernism and postmodernism as well as
entries related to the formal and technical dimensions of American
poetry. Particular attention is paid to women poets and poets from
various ethnic groups. Poets such as Amiri Baraka, Nathaniel
Mackey, Natasha Trethewey, and Tracy Smith are featured. The
encyclopedia also contains entries on a wide selection of Latino
and Native American poets and substantial coverage of the
avant-garde and experimental movements and provides sidebars that
illuminate key points. Covers American poetry from the Colonial era
to the present in roughly 300 alphabetically arranged entries
Features key contemporary poets, including those appearing in
current journals Brings together approximately 80 contributors who
are among the most widely known scholars in the field Supports
Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Social
Studies by helping students gain a greater understanding of
language
