Digital humanities (digital literary studies) is a specialized subfield of digital humanities that applies computational methods and digital technologies to the study of literature. Drawing upon advancements in technology, it employs techniques such as text mining, data analysis, visualization, computational modeling, and digital editing to analyze literary texts, explore authorship, study genre, investigate literary history, and engage with literary theory. This approach seeks to enhance, critique, or transform traditional literary scholarship, and may also encompass the study of born-digital literature and the intersection of digital culture and literary forms. It contributes to humanities research globally, including applications within regional fields like European studies when focused on European literary traditions.
