"A masterful integration of digital humanistic approaches and more traditional close-reading methods... compelling, persuasive." -Victorian Studies for the 21st Century
What is to be gained by reading George Eliot'sMiddlemarchfrom an Excel spreadsheet, or the novels of Charles Dickens through a few hundred dialogue tags-those he said/she saids that bring his characters to life? Sarah Danielle Allison'sReductive Readingargues that the greatest gift the computational analysis of texts has given to traditional criticism is not computational at all. Rather, one of the most powerful ways to generate subtle reading is to be reductive; that is, to approach literary works with specific questions and a clear roadmap of how to look for the answers.
Allison examines how patterns that form little part of our conscious experience of reading nevertheless structure our experience of books. Exploring Victorian moralizing at the level of the grammatical clause, she also reveals how linguistic patterns comment on the story in the process of narrating it. Delving intoThe London Quarterly Review, as well as the work of Eliot, Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Anthony Trollope, William Makepeace Thackeray, and other canonical Victorian writers, the book models how to study nebulous and complex stylistic effects.
A manifesto for and a model of how digital analysis can provide daringly simple approaches to complex literary problems,Reductive Readingintroduces a counterintuitive computational perspective to debates about the value of fiction and the ethical representation of people in literature.
"A book that promises to transform the way we read novels." -Elsie B. Michie, author ofThe Vulgar Question of Money
