Bookplate of Helen Tanzer on front end page. Small markings on preface page. viii, 289 pages, 20 cm. Helen Henrietta Tanzer was born in New York City in February 1876 to German-speaking Jewish parents Arnold and Ida Tanzer. She had a brother, Lawrence (b. 1874), and a sister, Edith (b. 1877).

Named to the Chevalier Order of Leopold II by Belgium, she also held the post of honorary attached to the Belgian embassy in Washington. As an author, her first known published work is 'Juvenal on Education,' in Essays in Honor of M.B. Wilson (1922).

Paperback. Condition: New. The study of "intermediality" explores the exchangeability of expressive means and aesthetic conventions between different art and media forms, a trend amplified and enabled by the digital age. It has become a powerful structuring concept in digital humanities, where traditional boundaries between disciplines as well as genres are being eroded. Contributors to this volume discuss the concepts of intermediality and digital humanities from a range of theoretical perspectives. While in the humanities, generally, there is continued focus on traditional textuality, this up-to-date collection demonstrates the explosive potential of new forms of hypermedia studies to transform our understanding of a range of genres.…
