This is the companion post for a talk I’m giving at St Anne’s College, Oxford on 19 November 2019.
- To begin, here’s a post I wrote on Machine Learning for Literary Critics in April 2017, and other posts on my sonnets research and on detecting rhetorical figures in early modern drama.
- In lieu of an abstract for this talk, see here.
- A key reference for this talk is Stephen Best and Sharon Marcus’s essay, “Surface Reading: An Introduction,” in Representations 108 (Fall 2009): 1-21.
