Abstract
![CDATA[This book charts the development of a set of remarkable and interrelated intellectual and digital projects that are transforming the way we view the history and culture of the eighteenth century. The featured projects include some of the best-known, most well-funded and longest established research initiatives in the emerging area of ‘Digital humanities’ (DH), a field that has, particularly since 2010, been attracting a rising tide of interest from professional academics, the media, funding councils and the general public worldwide. Advocates and practitioners of the digital humanities argue that computational methods can fundamentally transform our ability to answer some of the ‘big questions’ that drive humanities research, allowing us to see patterns and relationships that were hitherto hard to discern, and to pinpoint, visualize and analyze relevant data in efficient and powerful new ways.]]
