Description: The use of digital tools, large-scale document digitization and (text) databases, digital reconstructions of historical places, events and sounds, and digital stylometry have revolutionised women's book history. Illustrating how major digital projects have helped scholars reconstruct medieval and early-modern women's interactions with the written word, this volume considers their roles as scribes, salonnières, printers, publishers and booksellers, cultural brokers, and highlights female collaborations with male authors. In doing so, it addresses both the practical challenges digital humanists face in studying women's bookish engagements, and how the specificity of women's historical interventions raises new questions for historians and general readers alike.
