Intermediate Horizons

“Book history and digital humanities are increasingly entangled, and it makes sense why: we cannot understand our digital moment without knowing the technologies and textual cultures that came before. Intermediate Horizons shows how these fields speak to each other, and why we need to pay attention.”—Whitney Trettien, University of Pennsylvania

“Intermediate Horizons offers a vital set of reports on the history and future of the book. Traversing the shared territory of the digital humanities and book-historical studies, the essays in this volume provide fresh perspectives on the wonderful complexities of media and mediation.”—Andrew Stauffer, University of Virginia

“Impressively informative and thought-provoking throughout.”—Midwest Book Review

“Offers something for every book historian, regardless of familiarity with or enthusiasm for digital integration. . . . As we continue to reflect on the intersections of bibliography and digital humanities, we must also reflect on what we want new technologies to do and why. Book historians have long been reflecting on technologies of the past, highlighting the disruptive nature of text. These same book historians also need to turn their heads towards the future. Intermediate Horizons represents a sharp glance in the right direction.”—The Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America
