Digital Victorians From Nineteenth-Century Media to Digital Humanities

"Fyfe makes a powerful case for tracing the origins of digital humanities to Victorians' debates about information overload. Digital Victorians offers an important and innovative contribution to digital humanities as a field, to media history, and to Victorian literary studies."
-Jon Lawrence, University of Exeter "This work offers an exciting new lens for understanding the Victorian era. Fyfe ranks among the leaders in bringing together Victorian studies and the digital humanities, and this work shows him at the top of his game."
-Adrian Wisnicki, University of Nebraska-Lincoln "Full of elegant, surprising readings, Fyfe's book is required reading for anyone who is concerned about the material and epistemological stakes of how we know what we know about the past (and that should be all of us)."
-Meredith Martin, Princeton University "Fyfe's book offers much food for thought as well as fresh insight into both the Victorian period and today. With notes and illustrations, this volume is lucidly written and well organized. Highly recommended."-M. Anderson, CHOICE "Digital Victorians looks backward not only to freshen our view of the nineteenth century but also to sharpen our view of twenty-first-century debates and dilemmas that-in many ways, it contends-we have had before."-Richard Menke, Technology and Culture
