Franco Moretti's GRAPHS, MAPS, TREES: ABSTRACT MODELS FOR LITERARY
HISTORY is one of the most provocative recent works of literary
history. The present volume collects generalist and specialist,
academic and nonacademic responses by statisticians, philosophers,
historians, literary scholars and others. And Moretti's responses
to these responses. Originally written as contributions to an
online book event hosted at The Valve (www.thevalve.org), and
edited for this volume, these essays explore, extend and criticize
many aspects of Franco Moretti's work. They will be of interest to
anyone interested in Moretti's brand of "distant reading"; or in
the prospects for quantitative approaches to literary style and
genre; or recent interdisciplinary work in the humanities
generally. CONTRIBUTORS: Bill Benzon, Tim Burke, Jenny Davidson,
Ray Davis, Jonathan Goodwin, Eric Hayot, John Holbo, Steven Berlin
Johnson, Matthew Kirschenbaum, Sean McCann, Franco Moretti, Adam
Roberts, Cosma Shalizi. ABOUT THE EDITORS: JONATHAN GOODWIN is
Assistant Professor of English at the University of Louisiana at
Lafayette. He works on modernist literature, film, and narrative
theory. JOHN HOLBO is an Associate Professor of Philosophy at the
National University of Singapore and the author, with Belle Waring,
of Reason and Persuasion: Three Dialogues by Plato (Pearson 2009).
