Literature in the Digital Age: An Introduction guides readers through the theoretical, interpretive, and creative possibilities opened up by the shift to digital literary forms such as e-books, digital archives, electronic literature, and videogames. In its argument that digital and traditional scholarship should be placed in dialogue with each other, this book contextualizes the advent of the digital in literary theory, explores the new questions readers can ask of texts when they become digitized, and investigates the challenges that fresh forms of born-digital fiction pose to existing models of literary analysis. Adam Hammond is Assistant Professor in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at San Diego State University. He is coauthor of Modernism: Keywords, and his articles have appeared in such journals and newspapers as Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, The Globe and Mail, The Walrus, and the Literary Review of Canada.
