Summary
To date there has not been much digital humanities work on Ralph Ellison, simply because the field tends not to produce single-author studies. Yet Ellison's work is well-suited to digital methods. In this chapter I examine the DH affordances of Ellison’s work, surveying potential projects before turning to a case study, in which I use existing digital methods to examine the influences on Ellison's style from writers like Eliot, Wright, Hemingway, and others. His deployment of those styles will serve as the basis for a broader discussion of what DH practices might apply to—or learn from—Ellison studies.
