From Parchment to Cyberspace (eBook, ePUB)

Medieval Literature in the Digital Age

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From Parchment to Cyberspace argues the case for studying high-resolution digital images of original manuscripts to analyze medieval literature. By presenting a rigorous philosophical argument for the authenticity of such images (a point disputed by digital skeptics) the book illustrates how digitization offers scholars innovative methods for comparing manuscripts of vernacular literature-such as The Romance of the Rose or texts by Christine de Pizan-that reveal aspects of medieval culture crucial to understanding the period.
