Series: Bloomsbury Studies in Digital Cultures

The overlaps between the digital humanities and textual studies—two major scholarly fields which share common interests and methods—still demand further theoretical reflections. This volume brings together an exciting collection of book historians, textual editors, curators, and new media theorists to provide templates for and methodological reflections on how digital textual studies research can be done.

Featuring contributions from a variety of early career and experienced scholars and practitioners, this volume uses case studies and methodological provocations to open up digital textual studies, as well as taking a step back to consider the broader theoretical and pedagogical implications they raise. In doing so, it sets the agenda for pragmatic, digital text-based scholarship and methods, providing useful tools and frameworks for anyone in need of an introduction to textual studies that is grounded in digital research and new media.

Reviews for New Directions in Digital Textual Studies: Book History, Scholarly Editing and Curation in Conversation

In this exemplary collection, Christopher Ohge and Kristen Schuster issue a powerful reminder of the foundational role of textual scholarship within the study of digital technologies in the humanities. But even more importantly, they demonstrate that textual studies represents the future as well as the past of digital humanities, acting as a fruitful lingua franca between disciplines as apparently disparate as literary studies, book history, new media, museum curation, library studies, theology and data science, to open up new possibilities for researchers and curators. -- Francesca Benatti, Senior Research Fellow In Digital Humanities, Open University, UK
