An engaging look at how debates over the fate of literature in our digital age are powerfully conditioned by the nineteenth century's information revolution

What happens to literature during an information revolution? How do readers and writers adapt to proliferating data and texts? These questions appear uniquely urgent today in a world of information overload, big data, and the digital humanities. But as Maurice Lee shows in , these concerns are not newthey also mattered in the nineteenth century, as the rapid expansion of print created new relationships between literature and information.

Exploring four key areasreading, searching, counting, and testingin which nineteenth-century British and American literary practices engaged developing information technologies, delves into a diverse range of writings, from canonical works by Coleridge, Emerson, Charlotte Bront, Hawthorne, and Dickens to lesser-known texts such as popular adventure novels, standardized literature tests, antiquarian journals, and early statistical literary criticism. In doing so, Lee presents a new argument: rather than being at odds, as generations of critics have viewed them, literature and information in the nineteenth century were entangled in surprisingly collaborative ways.

An unexpected, historically grounded look at how a previous information age offers new ways to think about the anxieties and opportunities of our own, illuminates todays debates about the digital humanities, the crisis in the humanities, and the future of literature.
