Hello all. I study 19th-century British #poetry; #comics (as in comic books), particularly fandom and readership of comics; book history; and print culture. I frequently employ digital and computational methods to study these things, which is how I ended up as faculty member in the School of Informatics, Computing, & Engineering at Indiana University.
I'm also a musician and songwriter. #introduction
I am the Director of the HathiTrust Research Center and Associate Professor of Information and Library Science in the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering at Indiana University. My research applies computational methods to the study of literary and historical documents, and my research interests include: computational literary studies; textual studies and bibliography; text technologies; book history; 19th-century British literature, poetry and poetics; and comic books. http://johnwalsh.name
