"Jockers dares us to consider what the future can hold now that so much of the literary canon is accessible digitally."--Library Journal "An instructive introduction to the history of computing in the humanities and its increasingly sophisticated methodology."--Library Journal "Jockers puts data mining and word crunching to good use in analyzing textual components across large textual databases. . . . A fascinating blend of statistics and sociolinguistic analysis. Recommended."--Choice
"A truly significant exploration of the intersection of literary studies and computer-assisted text analysis. Through a series of perspectives and methodologies, Macroanalysis convincingly demonstrates the power and potential of literary text analysis."--Stéfan Sinclair, coauthor of Visual Interface Design for Digital Cultural Heritage "A showcase for the range and the potential of. . . . 'big data' literary study. A new, turbocharbged sort of philology-one covering wider swaths of literature than even the most diligent and asocial researcher could ever read."--Chronicle of Higher Ed
"A massively important book. . . . If you want to know what a major part of literary criticism will look like in 20 years, you need to read Macroanalysis.--Los Angeles Review of Books
