Abstract: Digital humanities has been a rising method for literary studies. This essay discusses the possibilities this method would bring to literary studies in the so-called era of late humanistic criticism from a long historical perspective. Humanities in university settings are disciplined forms of knowledge that came into being with the rise of modern print culture. The critics of literary research always have the role of elitist positions in the era of New Criticism as well as in the era of Theory. Computational and statistical methods are manifestations of the scientific dimensions in literary studies. From the beginning of literary studies as a disciplinary form of knowledge to digital humanities as one of the methods, humanities knowledge has been constantly institutionalized and disseminated, which is a process of democratization of knowledge.This essay proposes a digital humanities method in literary studies modeled on the conventional expertise of textual scholarship and on the scholarly editions immersed in the history and tradition of Chinese literary studies.

Key words: Digital Humanities Literary Studies, print culture infrastructure, statistical methods, computational analysis, late humanities critique
