The Bourgeois by Franco Moretti
Who - and what - are the Bourgeois?
The great iconoclast of literary criticism-- John Sutherland * Guardian *
It's a rare literary critic who attracts so much public attention, and there's a good reason: few are as hellbent on rethinking the way we talk about literature. * Times Literary Supplement *
Moretti, a mythopoeic figure, generates around himself a dense network of folklore and apocrypha. * n+1 *
Moretti is already famous in bookish circles for his data-centric approach to novels, which he graphs, maps, and charts ... if his new methods catch on, they could change the way we look at literary history. * Wired *
Distant reading might prove to be a powerful tool for studying literature. * New York Times *
