Abstract:
According to literary scholars (e.g. Moretti 1994), the early modern period represented a key moment in the evolution of European drama. During this era, distinct theatrical aesthetics are said to have emerged in each major linguistic region of the Continent, leading to the birth of traditions as diverse as the Elizabethan theatre, the French théâtre classique, and Spanish Golden Age playwriting. But is this narrative of 'diversification' truly sound, and is it possible to assess it empirically? In this talk, I will present findings from my PhD dissertation showing how cutting-edge computational methods might help in challenging established theories on drama history and offering a data-assisted perspective on the question.
