DIGITAL CLASSICS OUTSIDE THE ECHO-CHAMBER: TEACHING, KNOWLEDGE EXCHANGE & PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, GABRIEL BODARD AND MATTEO ROMANELLO, EDITORS, LONDON: UBIQUITY PRESS, 2016. ISBN (PAPERBACK) 978-1-909188-48-8 – BOOK PRESENTATION

Abstract

This volume reunites several papers from the Digital Classics, a relative narrow field of Digital Humanities. Some of the chapters were among papers presented at seminars in London and Berlin, however most of them were especially drafted for the present volume. The volume targets scholars in Classics, Archaeology and History, but the editors believe it will also be accessible to teachers and students, as well as non-academics with an interest in the topic.

The volume opens with a list of contributors to the volume, delineating their expertise in the topic of Digital Humanities, as well as their past and ongoing projects. It is followed by an Introduction signed by the two editors, who underline their concern to increase public awareness into this topic, thus making the volume available on open access (http://www.oapen.org/search?identifier=649985).
