Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.

Writing Against the Machine: Computational Authorship and Historical Writing

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Historians generate knowledge through the labour of composition – through the friction between interpretation and evidence that makes claims open to scrutiny and challenge.
