{"product_id":"close-reading-with-computers-9781503609365","title":"Close Reading with Computers","description":"\u003cp\u003eMost contemporary digital studies are interested in distant-reading paradigms for large-scale literary history. 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 \u003ci\u003eCloud Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e (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 \u003ci\u003eClose Reading with Computers\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Martin Paul Eve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42960669900918,"sku":"9781503609365","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0671\/1374\/6550\/files\/CoreSourceHub_d9761a87-c0ec-4266-9161-768ad7630b08.jpg?v=1780176641","url":"https:\/\/ingramacademic.com\/products\/close-reading-with-computers-9781503609365","provider":"Ingram Academic \u0026 Professional","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
