Literary Mapping in the Digital Age

by David Cooper (Editor), Christopher Donaldson (Editor), Patricia Murrieta-Flores (Editor)

Drawing on the expertise of leading researchers from around the globe, this pioneering collection of essays explores how geospatial technologies are revolutionizing the discipline of literary studies. The book offers the first intensive examination of digital literary cartography, a field whose recent and rapid development has yet to be coherently analysed. This collection not only provides an authoritative account of the current state of the field, but also informs a new generation of digital humanities scholars about the critical and creative potentials of digital literary mapping. The book showcases the work of exemplary literary mapping projects and provides the reader with an overview of the tools, techniques and methods those projects employ.

Interesting and timely book about various aspects of the emerging domain of literary cartography. I read this is several sittings, and found most of the chapters interesting and informative.
