	abstract = {In this article, Jerome McGann demonstrates that the crisis in the humanities is not the result of a crisis in critical theory or cultural studies, but rather a failure to fully embrace and switch into a digital mode. He argues that the humanities should cultivate a realistic attitude and accept the inevitability of moving into online scholarly production, which could maintain its reliability by practicing online peer-review. McGann points to the NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship) project, which implements {\textquotedblleft}integrated online peer-reviewed research in nineteenth-century British and American studies,{\textquotedblright} as an example of a platform that has made use of digital resources and offers {\textquotedblleft}functioning, standards based model for uniformly coded digital materials, along with a suite of computerized analytic and interpretive tools.{\textquotedblright} McGann also demonstrates how the reluctance to switch to a digital mode stems from institutional and political reasons, rather than technical or economic ones. },
