| Sumario: | The American Literature Scholar in the Digital Age, which features essays from a wide range of practitioner/scholars, is the first of its kind: a gathering of people who are expert in American literary studies and in digital technologies, scholars uniquely able to draw from experience with building digital resources and to provide theoretical commentary on how the transformation to new technologies alters the way we think about and articulate scholarship in American literature. The volume collects articles from those who are interested in tool development, usability testing, editing and textual scholarship, digital librarianship, and issues of race and ethnicity in digital humanities, while also situating digital humanities work within the larger literary discipline. In addition, the volume examines the traditional structures of the fields including tenure and promotion criteria, modes of scholarship production, the skill sets required for the production of scholarship, and the training of new scholars in digital humanities work. The audience for the book is potentially quite broad, attracting practitioners of digital humanities in multiple fields, Americanists who utilize digital materials, and those who are intellectually curious about the digital humanities movement and materials. The central audience imagined is not an in-crowd of humanities scholars already familiar with digital techniques and practices, but scholars and teachers of American literature generally. |
