Data Visualization in Enlightenment Literature and Culture explores the new interpretive possibilities offered by using data visualization in eighteenth-century studies. Such visualizations include tabulations, charts, k-means clustering, topic modeling, network graphs, data mapping, and/or other illustrations of patterns of social or intellectual exchange. The contributions to this collection present groundbreaking research of texts and/or cultural trends emerging from data mined from existing databases and other aggregates of sources. Describing both small and large digital projects by scholars in visual arts, history, musicology, and literary studies, this collection addresses the benefits and challenges of employing digital tools, as well as their potential use in the classroom.

Data Visualization in Enlightenment Literature and Culture is a fine volume that captures many of the modes of DH research underway in the eighteenth century. The volume benefits from copious images in both black and white and color to illustrate the visualizations described in the essays. (Mark Vareschi, Eighteenth-Century Studies, Vol. 56 (4), 2023)
