Includes bibliographies and index.
(R)emediation (literacy rethought) -- Memory (authorship revisited) -- History (publication redefined) -- Testimony (the edition reimagined) -- Loss (authorship regained) -- Epilogue. no text left behind (a theory of recovery).
Augusta Rohrbach works through the increasing convergences between digital humanities and literary studies to explore the meaning and primacy of the book as a literary, material, and cultural artifact. Rohrbach assembles a rather unlikely cohort of nineteenth-century women writers--Jane Johnston Schoolcraft, Sojourner Truth, Hannah Crafts, Augusta Evans, and Mary Chesnut--to consider the publishing culture of their period from the perspective of our current digital age, bringing together scholarly concepts from both print culture and new media studies.--Provided by publisher.
