Paul Fyfe

Digital Victorians

From Nineteenth-Century Media to Digital Humanities

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this authoritative new work, Fyfe argues that writing about Victorian new media continues to shape reactions to digital change. Engaging with writers such as Thomas De Quincey, George Eliot, and George du Maurier, he explores how we have inherited Victorian anxieties about machine-driven reading and new technology.
