- This is the first book-length application of computational stylistics and similar 'distant reading' methods to the study of early modern drama beyond questions of authorship attribution. It is the product of extensive data collection, enrichment, and sophisticated analyses of a corpus of 243 early modern plays and a sub-corpus of 691 props from 160 of these plays. Using innovative computational methods to generate new knowledge about the drama of Shakespeare's time and to debunk several long-standing critical myths, the book represents a fundamentally new approach to early modern literary studies and provides a model and rationale for future scholarship.
