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.

2018 spring my prof criticized the book and digital humanities at large. I guess the point is, these seem intersting cases. but what is the significance after all. Isn't the trees' part a little bit pointless? (maybe one can argue that the point comes later, tho) are literary studies merely the site of like history studies/ economic studies etc.?

评分庫恩和布羅代爾在手… 以及連讀瞭三本,有點扛不住Moretti每一段落開頭必用名詞性短語/不完整句的寫法瞭。Afterwords沒有認真看。
