   • 2007, Lawrence D. Kritzman, ‎Brian J. Reilly, ‎M. B. DeBevoise, The Columbia History of Twentieth-century French Thought, →ISBN, page 289:

     What mediology wishes to bring to light is the way in which something serves as a medium, and the often unperceived complexities that go with it, looking back over the long term (from the birth of writing) without being overly concerned with present-day media (even if certain mediologists are prepared to consider these).

     Throughout the chapters that follow, I focus on the centrality and significance of contemporary media theory to understanding nineteenth-century British literary, scientific, and technological production and thus concentrate my attention on Romantic mediologies as opposed to inspecting perhaps more eminent or familiar critical or theoretical paradigms like Romantic book history and print culture, studies of Romantic reading publics, investigations of nineteenth-century periodical culture, or Tomanticism and the digital humanities.
