Focusing on particular cases of Anglo-German exchange in the period
known as the Sattelzeit (1750-1850), this volume of essays explores
how drama and poetry played a central role in the development of
British and German literary cultures. With increased numbers of
people studying foreign languages, engaging in translation work,
and traveling between Britain and Germany, the eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries gave rise to unprecedented opportunities for
intercultural encounters and transnational dialogues. While most
research on Anglo-German exchange has focused on the novel, this
volume seeks to reposition drama and poetry within discourses of
national identity, intercultural transfer, and World Literature.
The essays in the collection cohere in affirming the significance
of poetry and drama as literary forms that shaped German and
British cultures in the period. The essays also consider the
nuanced movement of texts and ideas across genres and cultures, the
formation and reception of poetic personae, and the place of
illustration in cross-cultural, textual exchange.
Dramatic texts come with a natural structure of acts, scenes and
speech clearly assigned to characters that lends itself to
computational analysis: These explicit structures allow for
straightforward formalizations without extensive preparatory work.
Work on drama has therefore always been at the forefront of
research in computational literary studies, with its pioneers
analyzing drama quantitatively long before the digital age. Today,
increasingly large digital text corpora are available and
computational literary studies aims at a higher-scaled view on
literary history, promising to analyze thousands of literary texts
simultaneously. After decades of exploring the possibilities
offered by computational methods, the field is now undergoing a
phase of consolidation that takes stock of achievements and
opportunities and critically reflects the computational methods and
interpretations derived from data. Building on insights from the
fields' tradition and current research approaches, this volume
provides an overview of the status quo of computational drama
analysis and explores possible routes for the future.
