Nearly as global in its ambition and sweep as its subject, Franco Moretti's The Novel is a watershed event in the understanding of the first truly planetary literary form. A translated selection from the epic five-volume Italian Il Romanzo (2001-2003), The Novel's two volumes are a unified multiauthored reference work, containing more than one hundred specially commissioned essays by leading contemporary critics from around the world. Providing the first international comparative reassessment of the novel, these essential volumes reveal the form in unprecedented depth and breadth--as a great cultural, social, and human phenomenon that stretches from the ancient Greeks to today, where modernity itself is unimaginable without the genre. By viewing the novel as much more than an aesthetic form, this landmark collection demonstrates how the genre has transformed human emotions and behavior, and the very perception of reality. Historical, statistical, and formal analyses show the novel as a complex literary system, in which new forms proliferate in every period and place.Volume 1: History, Geography, and Culture, looks at the novel mostly from the outside, treating the transition from oral to written storytelling and the rise of narrative and fictionality, and covering the ancient Greek novel, the novel in premodern China, the early Spanish novel, and much else, including readings of novels from around the world. These books will be essential reading for all students and scholars of literature.

Shakespearean tragedy and Dracula, Sherlock Holmes and Ulysses, Frankenstei and The Waste Land-all are celebrated "wonders" of modern literature, whether in its mandarin or popular form. However, it is the fact that these texts are so central to our contemporary notion of literature that sometimes hinders our ability to understand them. Franco Moretti applies himself to this problem by drawing skillfully on structuralist, sociological and psycho-analytic modes of enquity in order to read these texts as literary systems which are tokens of wider cultural and political realities. In the process, Moretti offers us compelling accounts of various literary genres, explores the relationships between high and mass culture in this century, and considers the relevance of tragic, Romantic and Darwinian views of the world.

How does a literary historian end up thinking in terms of z-scores, principal component analysis, and clustering coefficients? The essays in Distant Reading led to a new and often contested paradigm of literary analysis. In presenting them here Franco Moretti reconstructs his intellectual trajectory, the theoretical influences over his work, and explores the polemics that have often developed around his positions.From the evolutionary model of "Modern European Literature," through the geo-cultural insights of "Conjectures of World Literature" and "Planet Hollywood," to the quantitative findings of "Style, inc." and the abstract patterns of "Network Theory, Plot Analysis," the book follows two decades of conceptual development, organizing them around the metaphor of "distant reading," that has come to define-well beyond the wildest expectations of its author-a growing field of unorthodox literary studies.

"The bourgeois ... Not so long ago, this notion seemed indispensable to social analysis; these days, one might go years without hearing it mentioned. Capitalism is more powerful than ever, but its human embodiment seems to have vanished. 'I am a member of the bourgeois class, feel myself to be such, and have been brought up on its opinions and ideals,' wrote Max Weber, in 1895. Who could repeat these words today? Bourgeois 'opinions and ideals'-what are they?"Thus begins Franco Moretti's study of the bourgeois in modern European literature-a major new analysis of the once-dominant culture and its literary decline and fall. Moretti's gallery of individual portraits is entwined with the analysis of specific keywords-"useful" and "earnest," "efficiency," "influence," "comfort," "roba"-and of the formal mutations of the medium of prose. From the "working master" of the opening chapter, through the seriousness of nineteenth-century novels, the conservative hegemony of Victorian Britain, the "national malformations" of the Southern and Eastern periphery, and the radical self-critique of Ibsen's twelve-play cycle, the book charts the vicissitudes of bourgeois culture, exploring the causes for its historical weakness, and for its current irrelevance.

A dazzling account of the development of American cultural hegemony from one of the world''s leading literary theorists. Franco Moretti, acclaimed author of Graphs, Maps, Trees and Distant Reading, distils a lifetime of teaching and research to present "the university, in the form of an essay". Ranging from poetry and the novel to theatre and the visual arts, Far Country juxtaposes canonical figures in American art and letters with European counterparts-Whitman and Baudelaire, Hemingway and Joyce, Miller and Brecht, Hopper and Vermeer-charting ruptures in the medium of form that have transformed the cultural landscape on either side of the Atlantic over the past century.

In this groundbreaking book, Franco Moretti argues that literature scholars should stop reading books and start counting, graphing, and mapping them instead. In place of the traditionally selective literary canon of a few hundred texts, Moretti offers charts, maps and time lines, developing the idea of "distant reading" into a full-blown experiment in literary historiography, in which the canon disappears into the larger literary system. Charting entire genres-the epistolary, the gothic, and the historical novel-as well as the literary output of countries such as Japan, Italy, Spain, and Nigeria, he shows how literary history looks significantly different from what is commonly supposed and how the concept of aesthetic form can be radically redefined.

Experimental Criticism offers a series of close critical engagements with one of the world's most innovative literary thinkers. Franco Moretti, author of such major works as Signs Taken for Wonders, The Way of the World, Modern Epic, Atlas of the European Novel and The Bourgeois, may be best known for his 'distant reading' of vast numbers of literary texts at the Stanford Literary Lab. Francesco de Cristofaro and Stefano Ercolino lead a lively exploration of his work as a springboard for rethinking the fundamentals of literary studies.Topics include literary theory and method, problems of scale and canonisation, the evolution of literary forms, abstract modelling and the digital humanities, comparative versus world literature, Marxism and literary history, and tragedy and the novel. There are essays from Moretti himself on Lukács and the tensions between close and distant reading, plus a 'provisional epilogue' in which he reflects on his intellectual itinerary and the challenges posed by contributors to this volume. 'Why study literature?' he asks. For the pleasure of reducing complex things to their simple elements; to bring them back to earth.This key retrospective amounts to a critical manifesto for an experimental literary materialism, one unafraid to test radical new hypotheses.

"Take Faust, what is it? A 'tragedy', as its author states? A great philosophical tale? A collection of lyrical insights? Who can say. How about Moby-Dick? Encyclopedia, novel or romance? Or even a 'singular medley,' as one anonymous 1851 review put it? ... 'It is no longer a novel,' T.S. Eliot said of Ulysses. But if not novels, then what are they?"Literary history has long been puzzled by how to classify and treat these aesthetic monuments. In this highly original and interdisciplinary work, Franco Moretti builds a theory of the modern epic: a sort of super-genre that has provided many of the "sacred texts" of Western literary culture. He provides a taxonomy capable of accommodating Faust, Moby-Dick, The Nibelung's Ring, Ulysses, The Cantos, The Waste Land, The Man Without Qualities and One Hundred Years of Solitude.For Moretti the significance of the modern epic reaches well beyond the aesthetic sphere: it is the form that represents the European domination of the planet, and establishes a solid consent around it. Political ambition and formal inventiveness are here continuously entwined, as the representation of the world system stimulates the technical breakthroughs of polyphony, reverie and leitmotif; of the stream of consciousness, collage and complexity.Opening with an analysis of Goethe's Faust and the different historical roles of epic and the novel, Moretti moves through a discussion of Wagner's Ring and on to a sociology of modernist technique. He ends with a fascinating interpretation of "magic realism" as a compromise formation between a number of modernist devices and the return of narrative interest, and suggests that the west's enthusiastic reception of these texts (and One Hundred Years of Solitude in particular) constitutes a ritual self-absolution for centuries of colonialism.

Wilhelm Meister, Elizabeth Bennet, Julien Sorel, Rastignac, Jane Eyre, Bazaroz, Dorothea Brooke ... the golden age of the European novel discovers a new collective protagonist: youth. It is problematic and restless youth-"strange" characters, as their own creators often say-arising from the downfall of traditional societies. But even more than that, youth is the symbolic figure for European modernity: that sudden mix of great expectations and lost illusions that the bourgeois world learns to "read", and to accept, as if it were a novel.The Way of the World, with its unique combination of narrative theory and social history, interprets the Bildungsroman as the great cultural mediator of nineteenth-century Europe: a form which explores the many strange compromises between revolution and restoration, economic take-off and aesthetic pleasure, individual autonomy and social normality. This new edition includes an additional final chapter on the collapse of the Bildungsroman in the years around the First World War (a crisis which opened the way for modernist experiments), and a new preface in which the author looks back at The Way of the World in the light of his more recent work.

Diagramme, Zeitreihen, Netzwerke, Histogramme… Vor fünfzehn oder zwanzig Jahren hätte man in Artikeln über das Kino und die Musik, die Literatur und die bildende Kunst noch nichts davon gefunden. Die Visualisierung kultureller Daten ist es, was die digital humanities auf den ersten Blick von den älteren geisteswissenschaftlichen Verfahren unterscheidet. In seinem neuen Buch reflektiert Franco Moretti einige der stillschweigend geteilten, manchmal vielleicht nur unbewusst mitgeführten Prämissen dieser neuen Untersuchungspraxis – geleitet von der Überzeugung, dass diese Praxis sehr starke theoretische Voraussetzungen mit sich führt, die offen gelegt werden müssen. "Falsche Bewegung" bietet eine ebenso ehrliche wie anspruchsvoll-kritische Einschätzung der sogenannten "quantitativen" Wende in den Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften, zu der der Autor selbst mit der Gründung des Literary Lab 2010 in Stanford einen entscheidenden Impuls gegeben hat. Seine Synthese, die die Wegmarken abschreitet, die nach und nach auf der Forschungsroute der hier versammelten Beiträge erreicht wurden, eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf das, was für die humanities an diesem strategischen Wendepunkt auf dem Spiel steht: Was hat der quantitative Ansatz erreicht, welche Erwartungen wurden (nicht) erfüllt und was geschieht mit der wissenschaftlichen Vorstellungskraft in den humanities, wenn Probleme der Statistik und Programmierung Fragen nach der Form in den Hintergrund drängen?

¿Por qué un historiador de la literatura llega a pensar en mapas literarios, series de novelas, flujos de traducción y diagramas de colecciones bibliográficas? En los diez ensayos reunidos en este volumen Franco Moretti reconstruye el itinerario intelectual que siguió su idea de la "lectura distante", desde el estudio de la evolución morfológica al análisis de datos cuantitativos. ¿Cómo funciona la teoría de la evolución para comprender el éxito o el fracaso de determinadas obras? ¿Puede el procesamiento de siete mil títulos decirnos algo sobre la novela como género? ¿Es efectiva una red de nodos para analizar el teatro de Shakespeare? Moretti se aleja de la lectura directa y utiliza mapas, series y árboles para arriesgar hipótesis sobre el sistema literario mundial. En estas páginas, sostiene: "El término "literatura mundial" existe desde hace casi dos siglos, pero aún no hemos elaborado una teoría genuina del objeto al que se refiere, por muy flexible que sea su definición. No hemos reunido un conjunto de conceptos ni hemos concebido una hipótesis para organizar la inmensa cantidad de datos que constituyen la literatura mundial. No sabemos qué es la literatura mundial.

¿Es posible que un programa informático identifique géneros literarios igual que el raciocinio humano?, ¿que pueda secuenciar por completo un conjunto de novelas para rastrear la peculiaridad del fenómeno estilístico?Las investigaciones de Franco Moretti y su equipo, el Stanford Literary Lab fundado en el 2010, lo han confirmado: podemos servirnos de los sistemas computacionales para analizar al detalle los géneros de la novela, buscar patrones en la disposición de las palabras más frecuentes y escudriñar las capas de sentido interconectadas. Pero, sin duda, una de las novedades más importantes surgidas a raíz de la digitalización de los estudios literarios es la capacidad de cartografiar el vasto e inexplorado continente de la literatura (The Great Unread): "Antes solíamos trabajar con unas doscientas novelas del siglo XIX, pero ahora podemos analizar miles o decenas de miles y pronto centenares de miles; es como si, de repente, dispusiéramos de un telescopio con el que podemos observar galaxias desconocidas". En este viaje exploratorio hacia el "genoma narrativo", Literatura en el laboratorio logra contagiar la pasión de un riguroso proceso de investigación que, no exento de dificultades, abre puertas revolucionarias para los estudios literarios.

Falso movimiento reúne los artículos de Franco Moretti escritos en los últimos años y traducidos ahora por primera vez al castellano. En estos ensayos, el crítico italiano revisa algunos aspectos fundamentales del "giro cuantitativo" en los estudios literarios, que ha producido algunas contribuciones ya clásicas para la comparatística contemporánea y las humanidades digitales. Moretti propone un balance crítico de los alcances y las limitaciones del análisis cuantitativo y explora las posibilidades de una aproximación a los fenómenos literarios que, en un único gesto, comprenda tanto a las dimensiones más cuantificables que implica el trabajo con grandes masas textuales como la especificidad que surge de la atención a las formas que, en última instancia, no pueden reducirse a un conjunto de datos.
