Review: R. González Zalacain e G. Vaamonde (cur.). 2025. Digital Humanities in Medieval and Early Modern Spanish Texts. Current Perspectives and Approaches. Londra e New York: Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group

Abstract

In recent decades, the Spanish-speaking world has witnessed the growth of numerous projects in digital humanities, demonstrating how computational methodologies can contribute to revisiting and reinterpreting medieval and early modern texts. Traditionally examined through established humanistic approaches, these texts now reveal new interpretive possibilities and reading paths thanks to digital methods. González Zalacain and Vaamonde bring together leading scholars in the field to showcase the potential of digital resources and tools for opening innovative lines of research at the intersection of the humanities. At the same time, the volume addresses a significant gap in the scholarly landscape, as few comprehensive overviews have placed digital humanities at the center of research on this historical period.
