Room 104

The paper will deal with the problems of the use of digital tools by humanists. The digital form of a text and the tools used for processing it change the way humanists work and compel us to address classical literary-studies questions concerning the text, canon, style, historical literary process, authorship etc. from a new perspective. I intend to discuss research into literary corpora and bibliographic data as well as some issues associated with digital editing. I will also examine some changes in the process of research, i.e. replacing individual research with research conducted by groups within literary laboratories.
