Reviews for A Companion to Digital Humanities
"A Companion to Digital Humanities stands on its own as a post-Revolution snapshot. It shows what happened immediately after computing became both practical, necessary and omnipresent in the Humanities.... Let there be another volume like this to document the next five years." (Classical Journal Online, May 2009) “Offers the best general introduction to this amorphous field.” (Literary Research Guide)
