There is an uneasy relationship be- tween the increased use of computational methods and their application to literary studies. Much of the current literature has focused on the exploration of large cor- pora. However, the ability to work at this scale is often not within the power (financial or technical) or the interests, of researchers. As these large-scale studies often ignore smaller corpora, few have sought to define a clear theoret- ical framework within which to study small-scale text collections. In addition, while some research has been carried out on the application of term-document vector space models (topic models and frequency based analysis) to nineteenth century novels, no study exists which applies word-context models (word em- beddings and semantic networks) to the novels of Austen, Edgeworth, and Owenson. This study, therefore, seeks to evaluate the use of vector space models when applied to these novels. xi This research first defines a theoretical framework - enhanced reading - which combines the use of close and distant reading. Using a corpus of twenty-eight nineteenth century novels as its central focus, this study also demonstrates the practical application of this theoretical approach with the additional aim of providing an insight into the authors’ representation of independence at a time of great political and social upheaval in Ireland and the UK. The use of term-document models was found to be, generally, more useful for gaining an overview of the corpora. However, the findings for word-context models reveal their ability to identify specific textual elements, some of which were not readily identified through close reading, and therefore were useful for exploring texts at both corpus and individual text level. xii Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisors Professor Susan Schreibman and Dr Conrad Brunstrom for their guidance, advice and support throughout my time at Maynooth University. Their support has enabled me to develop into a more confident researcher, writer and presenter. This research was made possible by a John and Pat Hume Scholarship, without which I would not have been able to finance my studies. I would also like to extend my appreciation to Dr Costas Papadopoulos, a val- ued member of my advisory committee, and Conor Wilkinson, from Graduate Studies, for all their help and support. Developing the ideas which have come to fruition in this thesis would not have been possible without the feedback I have received at conference presentations: thank you to the organisers, and to those who asked questions. In addition, I would like to thank the members of my Viva Committee: Dr JoAnne Mancini, Dr Conor McCarthy and Dr Derek Greene, for their time, their feedback, and their kind comments on my work. On a more personal note, I would like to express my sincere thanks and grat- itude to my husband Iain, who has not only supported me emotionally and financially while I have completed my PhD, but has also put up with my work materials taking up almost every surface in our house. A special mention goes xiii out to my team of proofreaders and advisors: my sister Joanna, and my good friend Dr Stafford Murray. Finally, I would like to thank my parents, Martin and Elsie, who have always supported my academic endeavours. xiv Dedication For Wan, Mollie and Erin.

  • Distant Reading, Computational Stylistics, and Corpus Linguistics the Critical Theory of Digital Humanities for Literature Subject Librarians David D
    CHAPTER FOUR Distant Reading, Computational Stylistics, and Corpus Linguistics The Critical Theory of Digital Humanities for Literature Subject Librarians David D. Oberhelman FOR LITERATURE librarians who frequently assist or even collaborate with faculty, researchers, IT professionals, and students on digital humanities (DH) projects, understanding some of the tacit or explicit literary theoretical assumptions involved in the practice of DH can help them better serve their constituencies and also equip them to serve as a bridge between the DH community and the more traditional practitioners of literary criticism who may not fully embrace, or may even oppose, the scientific leanings of their DH colleagues.* I will therefore provide a brief overview of the theory * Literary scholars’ opposition to the use of science and technology is not new, as Helle Porsdam has observed by looking at the current debates over DH in the academy in terms of the academic debate in Great Britain in the 1950s and 1960s between the chemist and novelist C. P. Snow and the literary critic F. R. Leavis over the “two cultures” of science and the humanities (Helle Porsdam, “Too Much ‘Digital,’ Too Little ‘Humanities’? An Attempt to Explain Why Humanities Scholars Are Reluctant Converts to Digital Humanities,” Arcadia project report, 2011, DSpace@Cambridge, www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/244642). 54 DISTANT READING behind the technique of DH in the case of literature—the use of “distant reading” as opposed to “close reading” of literary texts as well as the use of computational linguistics, stylistics, and corpora studies—to help literature subject librarians grasp some of the implications of DH for the literary critical tradition and learn how DH practitioners approach literary texts in ways that are fundamentally different from those employed by many other critics.† Armed with this knowledge, subject librarians may be able to play a role in integrating DH into the traditional study of literature.

  • KB-Driven Information Extraction to Enable Distant Reading of Museum Collections Giovanni A
    KB-Driven Information Extraction to Enable Distant Reading of Museum Collections Giovanni A. Cignoni, Progetto HMR, [email protected] Enrico Meloni, Progetto HMR, [email protected] Short abstract (same as the one submitted in ConfTool) Distant reading is based on the possibility to count data, to graph and to map them, to visualize the re- lations which are inside the data, to enable new reading perspectives by the use of technologies. By contrast, close reading accesses information by staying at a very fine detail level. Sometimes, we are bound to close reading because technologies, while available, are not applied. Collections preserved in the museums represent a relevant part of our cultural heritage. Cataloguing is the traditional way used to document a collection. Traditionally, catalogues are lists of records: for each piece in the collection there is a record which holds information on the object. Thus, a catalogue is just a table, a very simple and flat data structure. Each collection has its own catalogue and, even if standards exists, they are often not applied. The actual availability and usability of information in collections is impaired by the need of access- ing each catalogue individually and browse it as a list of records. This can be considered a situation of mandatory close reading. The paper discusses how it will be possible to enable distant reading of collections. Our proposed solution is based on a knowledge base and on KB-driven information extraction. As a case study, we refer to a particular domain of cultural heritage: history of information science and technology (HIST).

  • By Kathryn Sutherland
    JANE AUSTEN’S DEALINGS WITH JOHN MURRAY AND HIS FIRM by kathryn sutherland Jane Austen had dealings with several publishers, eventually issuing her novels through two: Thomas Egerton and John Murray. For both, Austen may have been their first female novelist. This essay examines Austen-related materials in the John Murray Archive in the National Library of Scotland. It works in two directions: it considers references to Austen in the papers of John Murray II, finding some previously overlooked details; and it uses the example of Austen to draw out some implications of searching amongst the diverse papers of a publishing house for evidence of a relatively unknown (at the time) author. Together, the two approaches argue for the value of archival work in providing a fuller context of analysis. After an overview of Austen’s relations with Egerton and Murray, the essay takes the form of two case studies. The first traces a chance connection in the Murray papers between Austen’s fortunes and those of her Swiss contemporary, Germaine de Stae¨l. The second re-examines Austen’s move from Egerton to Murray, and the part played in this by William Gifford, editor of Murray’s Quarterly Review and his regular reader for the press. Although Murray made his offer for Emma in autumn 1815, letters in the archive show Gifford advising him on one, possibly two, of Austen’s novels a year earlier, in 1814. Together, these studies track early testimony to authorial esteem. The essay also attempts to draw out some methodological implications of archival work, among which are the broad informational parameters we need to set for the recovery of evidence.

  • The Life of the Female Mind: Hester Mulso Chapone and the Gendered Rhetoric of Experience
    The Life of the Female Mind: Hester Mulso Chapone and the Gendered Rhetoric of Experience Bethany Mannon Abstract: This article studies the writings of Hester Mulso Chapone (1727-1801) a prolific member of the late-eighteenth century Bluestocking circle. Working within genres traditionally available to women, most notably the conversational rhetoric of letters, Chapone advocates for an expanded social role and rhetorical education for young women. These letters later circulated publicly as Letters on Filial Obedience (1751) and Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773). Chapone’s participation in a tradition of feminist writing deserves attention be- cause of her success foregrounding personal experience as a source of authority and deploying personal writing to persuade, inform, and confront prevailing power structures. Keywords: Conversational Rhetoric, Feminist Rhetoric, Life Writing, Bluestockings Hester Mulso Chapone (1727-1801) wrote prolifically in the eighteenth century and, together with the writers Elizabeth Montagu, Catharine Macaulay, Charlotte Lennox, Elizabeth Carter, Sarah Scott, Hannah More, and Frances Burney, influenced British intellectual culture. A member of this Bluestocking generation, Chapone was known during her life for her essays, letters, conver- sation, poetry, and advice on the education of young women. She maintained a reputation as an intellectual moralist into the nineteenth century, as her writings continued to be widely printed and read. Chapone worked within the genres of letters and conduct books—traditionally accessible to women—but expanded those genres to confront eighteenth-century notions of virtue and education. Her Letters on Filial Obedience (1751) and Letters on the Improvement of the Mind (1773) foreground her youth and femininity; she performs a Peitho Journal: Vol.
