Abstract
In this dissertation I discuss projects and pedagogy grounded in traditional modes of textual analysis and literary criticism, but extended into the digital realm. The three chapters of this dissertation correspond to three general categories of Digital Humanities scholarship: curating digital archives, creating tools to enhance textual analysis, and ludic practices in humanities computing and pedagogy. Case studies within each chapter show issues and offer possible solutions to problems in digital scholarship, such that the actual content of each project can be interchangeable; while I use content from my primary fields of study nineteenth and early twentieth-century American literature the frameworks for knowledge creation can be applied to any historical literary period. By presenting concrete problems and paths toward solutions, this dissertation will be useful to scholars lacking the technical expertise to begin envisioning a digital solution to a textual problem. In remaining focused also on the literary content and critical theory underlying each problem, this work remains relevant to those scholars less interested in implementing solutions, who are instead satisfied with the implications this work presents for future theoretical discussions.
