<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span lang=EN-US
style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>We live at a time of enormous
realignments in the use of media. Each day more information can be retrieved
from the Internet. The world is not one of knowing how to access and manage
information rather than storing and processing it. In the area of literature,
ever more information on literary production is being disseminated and
retrieved in electronic form. This has considerable consequences for the form
and use of such information. </span><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>It
also has consequences for learning and research environments at educational
institutions. Today’s popularization of modern technologies has allowed
scholars in the Humanities, including literature specialists, to access an
array of novel opportunities in the digital medium, which have brought about an
equal number of challenges and questions. In spite of the vast amount of
information now at hand, very little has been provided for the advance of
literary education.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><b><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Objective
of the book<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>This
volume aims at providing a deep probe into the most relevant issues in literary
education and digital learning. The chapters will be organized into two
categories: research and education. The first group will collect studies
investigating the impact of technologies in literary research. Its main aim is
to understand how computers and other new technologies may help scholars
investigate literary works in novel ways, thus bringing new perspectives to the
area. The second group will look into the potential of applying distance
learning methods/concepts/environments to the field of literature. In other
words, it will collect contributions on how these resources may be used by
scholars and students either inside or outside regular classrooms, provided
that these classroom applications are not accounts of experience but based on
research. In sum, the volume will offer a survey of how digital literary
education has developed, where it stands now, how research in this area has
progressed, and what the prospects are for the future.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='text-align:justify'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>This
volume will be of interest to those interested in digital learning/teaching
and/or literature, especially in the university context. This book will
also interest literature professionals who would like to see how digital
learning works in practice. In addition, the book will be highly valuable to
those researchers in the field interested in keeping abreast with current
developments in the confluence of their fields of expertise and technological
settings.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
