Ebook: Quantitative Ansätze in den Literatur- und Geisteswissenschaften: Systematische und historische Perspektiven

Starting from the early 19^th century, quantitative methods have been applied to describe, analyze, and interpret texts in literary studies and the humanities. With the emergence of the "digital humanities," such approaches have gained in importance. The volume aims to historically contextualize and examine quantifying procedures in relation to theory and to assess the value of quantitative data in the humanities.
