Introduction

Abstract

This introduction discusses the current relationship between the fields of the digital humanities and modernist studies in order to critique all-to-easy comparisons between the two fields and replace these comparisons with cautious scholarship that is informed by current conversations within modernist studies. Ross argues for the creation of more field-specific studies of digital literary studies in fields other than modernism, explaining how the present collection provides a model for next-generation work in digital literary studies that is grounded in its relevant subdiscipline. This introduction concludes with summaries of the chapters in the collection.
