In this volume, Matthew L. Jockers introduces readers to
large-scale literary computing and the revolutionary potential of
macroanalysis--a new approach to the study of the literary record
designed for probing the digital-textual world as it exists today,
in digital form and in large quantities. Using computational
analysis to retrieve key words, phrases, and linguistic patterns
across thousands of texts in digital libraries, researchers can
draw conclusions based on quantifiable evidence regarding how
literary trends are employed over time, across periods, within
regions, or within demographic groups, as well as how cultural,
historical, and societal linkages may bind individual authors,
texts, and genres into an aggregate literary culture. Moving beyond
the limitations of literary interpretation based on the
"close-reading" of individual works, Jockers describes how this new
method of studying large collections of digital material can help
us to better understand and contextualize the individual works
within those collections.
