Reviews

"""Fyfe makes a powerful case for tracing the origins of digital humanities to Victorians' debates about information overload. Digital Victorians offers an important and innovative contribution to digital humanities as a field, to media history, and to Victorian literary studies.""—Jon Lawrence, University of Exeter ""This work offers an exciting new lens for understanding the Victorian era. Fyfe ranks among the leaders in bringing together Victorian studies and the digital humanities, and this work shows him at the top of his game.""—Adrian Wisnicki, University of Nebraska–Lincoln ""Full of elegant, surprising readings, Fyfe's book is required reading for anyone who is concerned about the material and epistemological stakes of how we know what we know about the past (and that should be all of us).""—Meredith Martin, Princeton University"
