New Essay out from Modern Language Quarterly
Our latest in a series of articles on global literary modernism was recently published in a special issue of Modern Language Quarterly on “Scale and Value: New and Digital Approaches to Literary History” (September, 2016). The essay, titled “Turbulent Flow: A Computational Approach to World Literature,” uses computational modeling and large-scale pattern detection to develop a theory of global textual transmission as a process of turbulent flow. We are thrilled to be a part of this fantastic special issue with Jim English, Sharon Marcus, Mark McGurl, Ted Underwood, and many others.
