Meredith A. Martin

Meredith A. Martin is a Professor of English at Princeton University and serves as the Faculty Director of the Center for Digital Humanities (CDH), established under her leadership in 2014. She specializes in anglophone poetry, historical prosody, and the intersection of digital humanities with literary studies. Her work bridges traditional literary analysis with computational methodologies, as seen in projects like the Princeton Prosody Archive (1570–1923) and her forthcoming book Poetry’s Data (2025), which explores critical data studies in humanities contexts.

Her research interests extend to Victorian literature, modernism, and interdisciplinary approaches to poetry. She holds leadership roles in multiple initiatives, including co-editing the Journal of Cultural Analytics and serving on committees for the Princeton AI Lab and Language and Intelligence Center. Martin is also affiliated with the Center for Statistics and Machine Learning and the Program in Media and Modernity.

Recognized for her mentorship, she has received the Princeton University Graduate Mentoring Award (2021) and the Clio Award (2023). She advises graduate students on digital humanities, critical data studies, and comparative poetics, while overseeing collaborative projects like the Nineteenth-Century Data Collective and the Historical Poetics Reading Group.

Her publications include The Rise and Fall of Meter (2012), which won multiple awards, and recent contributions to PMLA, Victorian Studies, and Paideuma. She actively promotes interdisciplinary dialogue through teaching courses on digital culture, poetry, and literature’s relationship with other disciplines.
