Meredith Martin publishes "Poetry's Data: Digital Humanities and the History of Prosody"

[AI Summary]: Meredith Martin, CDH Faculty Director at Princeton, publishes a new book exploring the intersections between the history of prosody in English and the history of digital humanities. The book narrates how the Princeton Prosody Archive and the CDH itself emerged from her research on meter, emphasizing how technological mediation transforms literary research and requires new collaborative models of scholarship. Martin argues that modern humanities research is fundamentally collaborative and that databases and digital resources represent crucial but often unacknowledged scholarly interventions.
