Thomas Pynchon and the Digital Humanities: Computational Approaches to Style: New Horizons in Contemporary Writing

Autor Erik Ketzan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 mar 2023
Thomas Pynchon's style has dazzled and bewildered readers and critics since the 1960s, and this open access book employs computational methods from the digital humanities to reveal heretofore unknown stylistic trends over the course of Pynchon's career, as well as challenge critical assumptions regarding foregrounded and supposedly "Pynchonesque" stylistic features: ambiguity/vagueness, acronyms, ellipsis marks, profanity, and archaic stylistics in Mason & Dixon.As the first book-length stylistic or computational stylistic examination of Pynchon's oeuvre, Thomas Pynchon and the Digital Humanities provides a groundwork of stylistic experiments and interpretations, with over 60 graphs and tables, presented in a manner in which both technical and non-technical audiences may follow.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.

Recenzii

I'm just barely digitally-literate enough to recognize how ingenious Ketzan's book is, and what an enormous amount of work has gone into it. You can count on these findings percolating through the Pynchon scholarship over the course of the next few years. I don't know whether this is a watershed moment in Pynchon scholarship, whatever that might mean, but I'm sure that in future no-one will want to venture claims about Pynchon's style without first checking to see what Ketzan has discovered.
