Description
Stephen Ramsay's Reading Machines explores how computers can be used as "reading machines" to open up new possibilities for literary critics. Computer-based text analysis has been employed in the past, but its application in interpretive analysis of written texts has been limited. Ramsay suggests that the rigidity of computation can be enlisted in the project of intuition, subjectivity, and play. This new form of text analysis conducted with the assistance of computers offers a fresh approach to literary studies.
