Computational Literary Studies

Computational Literary Studies is an interdisciplinary field that uses digital tools and techniques to analyze and interpret literature. It involves applying methods like text mining, data analysis, and machine learning to uncover patterns, themes, and structures within large collections of texts. This approach enables researchers to explore questions about authorship, genre, social context, and literary evolution at a scale and depth that traditional methods might not easily achieve. Essentially, it combines computer science and literary analysis to deepen our understanding of literature through data-driven insights.
