In this book, Michelle Warren tells the story of one such manuscript--an Arthurian romance with textual origins in twelfth-century England now diffused across the twenty-first century internet. This trajectory has been propelled by a succession of technologies--from paper manufacture to printing to computers. Together, they have made literary history itself a cultural technology indebted to colonial capitalism. Bringing to bear media theory, medieval literary studies, and book history, Warren shows how digital infrastructures change texts and books, even very old ones. In the process, she uncovers a practice of "tech medievalism" that weaves through the history of computing since the mid-twentieth century; metaphors indebted to King Arthur and the Holy Grail are integral to some of the technologies that now sustain medieval books on the internet. This infrastructural approach to book history illuminates how the meaning of literature is made by many people besides canonical authors: translators, scribes, patrons, readers, collectors, librarians, cataloguers, editors, photographers, software programmers, and many more. Situated at the intersections of the digital humanities, library sciences, literary history, and book history, Holy Digital Grail offers new ways to conceptualize authorship, canon formation, and the definition of a "book.""-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-324) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : medieval literature in the digital Dark Ages -- Translating Arthur : books, texts, machines -- Performing community : merchants, chivalry, data -- Marking manuscripts : makers, users, coders -- Cataloguing libraries : history, romance, website -- Editing romance : poetry, print, platform -- Reproducing books : binding, microfilm, digital -- Conclusion : indexing the grail, romancing the internet. 650 0 $a Manuscripts, Medieval $x Digitization. 650 0 $a Arthurian romances $x Digitization. $x Digitization. 650 0 $a Codicology $x Technological innovations. 650 0 $a Literature and technology. 650 0 $a Digital humanities. 650 7 $a Digital humanities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963599 650 7 $a Literature and technology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000104 776 08 $i Online version: $a Warren, Michelle R., 1967- $t Holy digital grail. $d Stanford, California : Stanford University Press, 2022 $z 9781503631175 $w (DLC) 2021050033 830 0 $a Text technologies. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013248.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20231004012526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D6FB9B0EAE9011EDA0B1416654ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
