The Routledge Introduction to English Canadian Literature and Digital Humanities cover

The Routledge Introduction to English Canadian Literature and Digital Humanities is a guide to the debates, concepts, and theories at the intersection of Canadian literary studies and digital humanities. Equal parts theoretical and practical, it focuses on debates that overlap the two domains. The book historicizes the connections between the two by surveying the history of digital humanities in Canada, the tradition of Canadian writers engaging with technology, and digital humanities analyses of Canadian literature. It also situates both CanLit and DH with respect to contemporary concerns about alterity, queerness, race, and Indigeneity, and it demonstrates how digital technologies allow writers and scholars to intervene in them.

The book complements its theoretical discussions with a practical introduction to digital humanities methods. Using Canadian literary texts and with examples from projects at the intersection of CanLit and DH as examples, it introduces key DH approaches to novice readers. Topics covered include data collection, data management, and textual analysis, as well as essential DH tools and the Python programming language. A concluding case study guides readers interested in applying the ideas presented throughout.
