This book asks what happens when such telescopic techniques function as a microscope instead. The first monograph to bring a range of computational methods to bear on a single novel in a sustained fashion, it focuses on the award-winning and genre-bending Cloud Atlas (2004). Published in two very different versions worldwide without anyone taking much notice, David Mitchell's novel is ideal fodder for a textual-genetic publishing history, reflections on micro-tectonic shifts in language by authors who move between genres, and explorations of how we imagine people wrote in bygone eras. Though Close Reading with Computers focuses on but one novel, it has a crucial exemplary function: author Martin Paul Eve demonstrates a set of methods and provides open-source software tools that others can use in their own literary-critical practices. In this way, the project serves as a bridge between users of digital methods and those engaged in more traditional literary-critical endeavors. 606 $aCriticism, Textual$xMethodology$xComputer programs 606 $aDigital humanities$xResearch$xMethodology 606 $aComputational linguistics$xMethodology 615 0$aCriticism, Textual$xMethodology$xComputer programs. 615 0$aDigital humanities$xResearch$xMethodology. 615 0$aComputational linguistics$xMethodology. 676 $a823/.914 700 $aEve$b Martin Paul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0803034 712 02$aThe Philip Leverhulme Prize 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409845403321 996 $aClose Reading with Computers$92203838 997 $aUNINA
