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.

评分他弟是南尼·莫瑞提！哥大和斯坦福比较文学教授，07开始在人文学科里搞定量都不是梗了。
评分comp lit和romance study的大牛们表示很淡定，福柯、德里达都是浮云，对面走来的cs, statistician,乃至人类学的‘被噎死’bayesian学惨遭退货。
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。
