Distant Reading

WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARDÂ

How does a literary historian end up thinking in terms of z-scores, principal component analysis, and clustering coefficients? The essays in Distant Reading led to a new and often contested paradigm of literary analysis. In presenting them here Franco Moretti reconstructs his intellectual trajectory, the theoretical influences over his work, and explores the polemics that have often developed around his positions.

From the evolutionary model of â€œModern European Literature,â€ through the geo-cultural insights of â€œConjectures of World Literatureâ€ and â€œPlanet Hollywood,â€ to the quantitative findings of â€œStyle, inc.â€ and the abstract patterns of â€œNetwork Theory, Plot Analysis,â€ the book follows two decades of conceptual development, organizing them around the metaphor of â€œdistant reading,â€ that has come to defineâ€”well beyond the wildest expectations of its authorâ€”a growing field of unorthodox literary studies.
