Compelling anyone with an interest in the digital humanities, be they newcomers or adepts, to reconsider and reimagine the past, present, and future of DH, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Digital Humanities is intuitively divided into five sections: "Perspectives & Polemics", "Methods, Tools & Techniques", "Public Digital Humanities", "Digital Humanities in Practice", and "DH Futures". These sections and the contributions contained within serve as a roadmap through the discipline's myriad formulations, failings, and possibilities. This book is essential reading for scholars and students of the digital humanities, whatever that may be, and whatever DH might become."-- Provided by publisher This book will attract several kinds of reader: dyed-in-the-wool DHers, the DH-curious, and naysayers. I suspect each will find something to satisfy whatever urge brought them here to begin with, and each will take umbrage with some part or another. A good handbook should provide ready-made reference materials, a set of intuitive treatments of a consistent topic. Regardless of how readers of this book view the digital humanities, my hope is that the provocations contained within facilitate some further progress, however small, towards Potter’s “new kind” of humanities—a humanities in which there is no tension between misplaced senses of old and new, but simply adesire to produce and sustain cultural knowledge using all the capacities of both the human and the machine.
