{"product_id":"forking-paths-luca-giovannini-9783837679625","title":"Forking Paths: Evolution and Divergence in Early Modern European Drama","description":"The French \u003ci\u003ethéâtre classique\u003c\/i\u003e, the English Renaissance and Restoration stage, the Spanish \u003ci\u003ecomedia nueva\u003c\/i\u003e: by the late seventeenth century, European drama had crystallised into strikingly different traditions, each one with its own distinctive formal features. But how did this diversity arise? Drawing on a multilingual corpus of early modern plays and employing novel computational methods, Luca Giovannini offers here an empirical reconstruction of the evolution of dramatic literature in Europe between 1561 and 1710. Both a contribution to comparative literary history and a methodological proposal for the computational study of literary form, this book shows how quantitative approaches can help reshape long-standing humanistic debates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luca Giovannini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837679624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837679625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 174\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Luca Giovannini","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801496858879,"sku":"9783837679625","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forking-paths-luca-giovannini-9783837679625","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
