Abstract

The merging of digital humanities with literary criticism represents a notable change in the field of literary analysis. This paper examines how the digital humanities have transformed literary criticism by analyzing their effects on research methods and reader involvement. Scholars have obtained new ways to evaluate and analyze massive text collections by using digital technologies like text analysis software and interactive platforms. The increase in digital archives has made literary research more accessible to a wider audience, promoting a more comprehensive and varied method of analyzing texts. In the future, digital humanities in literary criticism show potential for advancement and innovation since new technologies such as artificial intelligence are ready to transform research methods. Interdisciplinary collaboration, incorporating knowledge from disciplines like computer science and data science, is anticipated to be essential for progressing literary studies. Scholars from traditional and digital backgrounds must participate in ongoing communication to ensure the continual evolution and incorporation of digital humanities in literary criticism. The combination of literary analysis with digital humanities provides a dynamic and revolutionary method for studying literature, which has the potential to revolutionize scholarly investigation in fascinating and significant ways.
