The 'great iconoclast of literary criticism' ("Guardian") reinvents the study of the novel. Franco Moretti argues heretically that literature scholars should stop reading books and start counting, graphing, and mapping them instead. He insists that such a move could bring new lustre to a tired field, one that in some respects is among "the most backwards disciplines in the academy." Literary study, he argues, has been random and unsystematic. For any given period, scholars focus on a select group of a mere few hundred texts: the canon. As a result, they have allowed a narrow distorting slice of history to pass for the total picture. Moretti offers bar charts, maps, and time lines instead, developing the idea of "distant reading" into a full-blown experiment in literary historiography, where the canon disappears into the larger literary system. Charting entire genres - the epistolary, the gothic, and the historical novel - as well as the literary output of countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, and Nigeria, he shows how literary history looks significantly different from what is commonly supposed and how the concept of aesthetic form can be radically redefined.

库恩和布罗代尔在手… 以及连读了三本，有点扛不住Moretti每一段落开头必用名词性短语/不完整句的写法了。Afterwords没有认真看。
评分被校长掳走了...呜呜呜
评分把文学研究科学化、系统化，是作者作为马克思主义者的唯物观。特别有文学具体是小说的世界主义（如果不用国际主义）的感觉。那些看似独特新颖的类型研究，性别研究，细读法，在作者的“远读”下，都显得娇弱单薄起来，甚至还有点羞涩，尽管这本书的外貌是如此的小。
评分看的时候很过瘾，但是如果想把distant reading引入实践的恐怕不太乐观。除了书籍史现在基本上有一套成熟的方法也出了很多很有意思的成果之外，小说形式的空间和时间批评还是需要更深刻的系统理论支持。不知道Morretti在The Atlas of European Novels还有最新的Between Bourgeois and History里有没有解决。
评分哼
