Routledge Digital Literary Studies
About the Book Series
This series publishes cutting-edge scholarship at the intersection of literature, media, and technology, with a focus on digital textuality, multimodal narratives, and the emergent interdisciplinary field of literary media. The series considers how digital literary studies engage broader questions of cultural memory, technological mediation, and the politics of representation. It prioritizes work that moves beyond textual analysis to examine the infrastructures, platforms, and creative practices shaping contemporary literary culture.
A wide range of methodological approaches is welcomed, including literary analysis, creative-critical inquiry, and historically or materially grounded studies of digital and post-digital writing.
