| Zusammenfassung: | For well over a century, academic disciplines have studied human behavior using quantitative information. Until recently, however, the humanities have remained largely immune to the use of data-or vigorously resisted it. Thanks to new developments in computer science and natural language processing, literary scholars have embraced the quantitative study of literary works and have helped make Digital Humanities a rapidly growing field. But these developments raise a fundamental, and as yet unanswered question: what is the meaning of literary quantity? In Enumerations, Andrew Piper answers that question across a variety of domains fundamental to the study of literature. He focuses on the elementary particles of literature, from the role of punctuation in poetry, the matter of plot in novels, the study of topoi, and the behavior of characters, to the nature of fictional language and the shape of a poet's career. How does quantity affect our understanding of these categories? What happens when we look at 3,388,230 punctuation marks, 1.4 billion words, or 650,000 fictional characters? Does this change how we think about poetry, the novel, fictionality, character, the commonplace, or the writer's career? In the course of answering such questions, Piper introduces readers to the analytical building blocks of computational text analysis and brings them to bear on fundamental concerns of literary scholarship. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in Digital Humanities and the future of literary study |

Until recently, the humanities have remained largely immune to the use of data—even vigorously
resisted it. But thanks to new developments in computer science and natural language processing,
literary scholars have embraced quantitative study. These developments raise a vital and unanswered
question: what is the meaning of literary quantity?
In Enumerations, Andrew Piper answers this question across a variety of domains fundamental to
the study of literature. He focuses on the elementary particles of literature, from the role of punctua-
tion in poetry to the matter of plot in novels, the study of topoi, the behavior of characters, the nature
of fictional language, and the arc of a poet s career. How does quantity affect our understanding of
these categories? What happens when we look at 3,388,230 punctuation marks, 1.4 billion words, or
650,000 fictional characters? Does this change how we think about poetry, the novel, fictionality,
character, or the writer’s career? Piper introduces readers to the analytical building blocks of compu-
tational text analysis and brings them to bear on central concerns of literary scholarship. This book is
essential reading for anyone interested in digital humanities and the future of literary study.
