Exploring the challenges of translating multilingual literature, Brian Lennon highlights its resistance to conventional publication practices. Through analyses of notable works, including those by G. V. Desani and Orhan Pamuk, he illustrates how national literary cultures often clash with the values of a transnational world. Lennon emphasizes that literature is not static but rather dynamic, constantly in motion across borders and languages, thus reshaping our understanding of literary identity and cultural exchange.

Cryptology, the science of ciphers and codes, and philology, the study of
languages, are typically understood as separate domains. But Brian Lennon
contends that computing's humanistic applications, no less than its technical
ones, are marked by the priorities of security and military institutions
devoted to fighting wars and decoding intelligence.
Examining the spiritual significance of Mary's relationship to Jesus, the
trans-historical significance of the resurrection and the contemporary
question of the role of women in the Church, Mary Magdalene and the Gardener
is a meditation on a world changed by one word; the word that made the
resurrection real was 'Mary'.
In this book, Brian Lennon demonstrates the power of a philological approach to the history of programming languages and their usage cultures. In chapters focused on specific programming languages such as SNOBOL and JavaScript, as well as on code comments, metasyntactic variables, the very early history of programming, and the concept of DevOps, Lennon emphasizes the histories of programming languages in their individual specificities over their abstract formal or structural characteristics, viewing them as carriers and sometimes shapers of specific cultural histories. The book's philological approach to programming languages presents a natural, sensible, and rigorous way for researchers trained in the humanities to perform research on computing in a way that draws on their own expertise. Combining programming knowledge with a humanistic analysis of the social and historical dimensions of computing, Lennon offers researchers in literary studies, STS, media and digital studies, and technical fields the first technically rigorous approach to studying programming languages from a humanities-based perspective.
