Description
Distant Reading by Franco Moretti is a collection of essays that explore the evolution of literary analysis over two decades. The author reconstructs his intellectual journey, tracing the development of his ideas and the theoretical influences behind them. From the concept of "Modern European Literature" to the geo-cultural insights of "Conjectures of World Literature," Moretti's work has been marked by a growing emphasis on quantitative methods and abstract patterns. This book presents these concepts in a new light, organizing them around the idea of "distant reading" - a term that has come to define a field of unorthodox literary studies. Through this collection, readers can gain insight into the development of a major intellectual movement in literary criticism.
