Distant Reading by Franco Moretti
Essays on World Literature
The book explores the concept of "distant reading," a method that shifts focus from close textual analysis to examining large-scale literary trends and patterns across numerous texts. By utilizing quantitative data and computational tools, it challenges traditional literary studies and offers new insights into the evolution of literature, genre development, and the global literary system. This approach allows for a broader understanding of literature's historical and cultural contexts, emphasizing the importance of analyzing literary works collectively rather than individually.
