    Abstract

    This book is the first full-length monograph to bring a range of computational methods to bear in a sustained fashion, on a single novel, at the micro-level. While most contemporary digital studies are interested in distant-reading paradigms for large-scale literary history – using their digital methods as a telescope – following calls by Alan Liu and Tanya E. Clement, Close Reading with Computers instead asks what happens when such techniques function as a microscope.
