Description
Jade Werner (Assistant Professor of English) and one of her students, Christina Smith, discuss the ways that analog forms of literary organization like the index can be used alongside free digital tools like Voyant and Lexos. The user-friendly interface provides an “anti-anxiety” and resource-neutral DH, and it yields surprising and insightful new works of literary interpretation
