Synopsis

Forthcoming title:

Digital humanities and book history are both potentially expansive tools for advocacy, activism, and recovery work in our current moment. This collection extends an invitation to readers to reflect on power, privilege, and potential in the wider fields of digital humanities and history of the book. Contributions from an international community of scholars explore the limitations of digital collections, the potential of digital methodologies to enrich bibliographic research, and the pleasures and challenges of interdisciplinary approaches to book history scholarship.
