Reviews for A Companion to Digital Humanities
“Offers the best general introduction to this amorphous field.” Literary Research Guide “The book represents a turning point for the Digital Humanities by bringing together a wide range of expertise from both theorists and practitioners and demonstrating that this can be considered a field in its own right … As an overview of a diverse field, [it] provides a detailed, useful introduction to how computational technologies have and may be appropriated, utilised and even innovated by humanities scholars.” The Classical Review
