Abstract

James O’Sullivan’s edited volume is, to use his words, likely to attract three kinds of readers: DH-experts, DH-curious, and naysayers. This review examines what the book offers to each category of readers, as a way of approaching the Herculean task of capturing a glimpse of 43 chapters that touch upon the domain in diverse ways. The self-critical spirit consistently demonstrated across chapters will stimulate dialogue regarding the gains made by DH when analysing culture textually.
