Summary
This essay assesses the challenge of digital culture to the representation and reproduction of Chaucer’s work, arguing that scholarly projects associated with the emergence of ‘digital humanities’ have in the main replicated the humanist goals of traditional literary scholarship. With the rapidly changing nature of digital textualities, the essay concludes by suggesting that a proper reckoning between Chaucer’s works and digital culture has yet to take place.
