Distant Reading for European Literary History

Distant Reading for European Literary History (COST Action CA16204) is a project aiming to create a vibrant and diverse network of researchers jointly developing the resources and methods necessary to change the way European literary history is written. Grounded in the Distant Reading paradigm (i.e. using computational methods of analysis for large collections of literary texts), the Action will create a shared theoretical and practical framework to enable innovative, sophisticated, data-driven, computational methods of literary text analysis across at least 10 European languages. Fostering insight into cross-national, large-scale patterns and evolutions across European literary traditions, the Action will facilitate the creation of a broader, more inclusive and better-grounded account of European literary history and cultural identity. To accomplish this, the Action will:

1. build a multilingual European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC), ultimately containing around 2,500 full-text novels in at least 10 different languages, permitting to test methods and compare results across national traditions (see WG 1);
2. establish and share best practices and develop innovative computational methods of text analysis adapted to Europe’s multilingual literary traditions (See WG 2);
3. consider the consequences of such resources and methods for rethinking fundamental concepts in literary theory and history (See WG 3).

The Action will contribute to the development and distribution of methods, competencies, data, best practices, standards and tools relevant to Distant Reading research. This will not only affect the way scholars in the Humanities do research, but also the way institutions like libraries will make their holdings available to researchers in the future. The Action will foster distributed research, the systematic exchange of expertise, and the visibility of all participants, activities and resources.

Working Groups

WG 1 Scholarly Resources / ELTeC

The task for WG1 is to facilitate the creation of the European Literary Text Collection (ELTeC). This work can be split into three distinct tasks: First, defining selection criteria (corpus design); second, developing basic encoding methods (both for data and for metadata); and third, defining a suitable workflow for preparation of the corpus. For creating such a benchmark corpus, we need a corpus design which allows for a comparability of texts and individual sub-collections according to different metadata sets. It should be possible for every COST Action member to sample sub-collections from the ELTeC for specific tasks and research questions, and to reformat them in ways appropriate to their own tools. The focus of the ELTeC encoding scheme is thus not to represent texts in all their original complexity of structure or appearance, but rather to facilitate a richer and better-informed distant reading than a transcription of its lexical content alone would permit. We hope to achieve these objectives in a collaborative and interdisciplinary way.

WG 2 Methods and tools

WG 2, “Methods and tools” is the working group which will coordinate activities related to sharing, evaluating and improving methods and tools for Distant Reading research. Members of WG 2 will come from participants who, as “scholarly hackers,” are active in computational linguistics, text mining, computational stylistics, and digital literary studies. The combination of expertise from people in these fields guarantees that we will see fertile crossovers between different disciplinary traditions and coding schools. Firstly, we aim to stimulate the awareness among the Action members of the possibilities of the many frameworks and libraries which are already out there (such as the high-level library for R: ‘Stylometry with R’ or the lower-level library of Gensim), through the organization of hands-on training schools and through the development of dedicated online tutorials on specific topics. As such, education is a core concern of this WG. Secondly, we have the ambitious aim to unify existing language and text technologies in Digital Humanities (e.g. Named Entity Recognition) and bring them together as much as possible into a single platform/library, that allows users to seamlessly switch between different languages or corpora. This is challenging because of the diversity of languages and periods covered. Thirdly, we aim to raise awareness about the strengths and weaknesses of established modelling approaches in the field, for instance for topic modelling and text classification, including the standards and metrics that are necessary for their empirical evaluation (e.g. through the use of a standard validation sets). Quantitative evaluation is an interesting topic in the Digital Humanities where much of the quality assessment happens through hermeneutic means.

WG 3 Literary Theory and History

WG3 “Literary Theory and History” is the working group set with the task of exploring theoretical concerns that stem from the application of Distant Reading methods to literary history. In particular, it will focus on the issues that arise from data-driven research into literary history across different literary traditions in Europe. Its aim is to question and re-assess the notions of writing literary history with the help of methodologies and tools of distant reading. Because its members come from different theoretical backgrounds, including scholars focused on digital literary studies as well as those based in more mainstream/traditional approaches, it seeks to foster a lively, balanced and fruitful debate about the advantages as well as limitations of Distant Reading methodologies and approaches to the study of European literary history. The objectives of this working group are twofold. While its primary aim is to provide a theoretical underpinning to the project’s activities, its parallel objective is to use Distant Reading research for a re-evaluation and redefinition of key concepts for literary history, such as genre, style or authorship. While paying particular attention to differences and similarities across different literary traditions, WG3 “Literary Theory and History” ultimately aims to examine the results obtained by Distant Reading and explore their implications for periodisation and canonisation in European literary history.

WG 4 Dissemination

The principal task of WG4 “Dissemination” is to coordinate the dissemination and communication activities of the Action in close collaboration with the other WGs and the Management Committee (MC). This working group has helped to establish and maintain the research portal on which the ELTeC and all other resources of the Action will be made available, as well as initiating the internal communication mechanisms for the Action. The portal serves as a virtual meeting point of the Action participants and of the larger community of researchers using Distant Reading theories and methods. This WG has also written and published a set of Dissemination Guidelines to support all members of the Action when sharing information about the Action, its aims, activities, achievements and outcomes. Members of WG4 provide advice for the Action on disseminating its findings to fellow scholars and to the wider, interested public via a range of communication channels and tools. This WG, therefore, provides the other WGs with a technical infrastructure and the organisational support to help them achieve their various goals.
