Trade Review

Dear reader, if you are a believer in the almighty virtues of the representational power of editions, if you are a true disciplinarian in textual matters, if you hold that knowledge validation in the digital humanities depends exclusively on quantitative criteria, Literary Simulation and the Digital Humanities is not for you. Or is it? * João Dionísio, Associate Professor, School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, Portugal *
