"Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for Literary History"

"Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for Literary History" explores how various visual and structural tools help us understand the development and interconnectedness of literature over time. Graphs display relationships or patterns, maps show geographical or thematic distributions, and trees illustrate hierarchical or chronological links among texts or authors. These models provide a clear framework to analyze complex literary histories, revealing influences, movements, and evolution in a more organized and insightful way. Essentially, the book discusses how abstract visualizations can deepen our understanding of literature’s complex, interwoven history.
