About this Volume
2022
These collected articles stem from a discussion that began at the third annual international Plotting Poetry conference held in Nancy (France) in September 2019, organized by Anne-Sophie Bories (University of Basel) and Véronique Montémont (ATILF).The group Plotting Poetry brings together literary scholars from all language areas who share an interest in the development of computational and statistical apparatuses to describe and analyze meter, style, and poeticity.For its third instalment, Plotting Poetry focused on questions of poetics, inviting participants to present feedbackpositive or noton the computational and statistical tools they had developed to address issues of poetics, metrics, and stylistics, and to shed light on the fields of literature, linguistics, and literary history.The fruitful exchanges begun during this gathering became the starting point for an ongoing discussion that ultimately formed the material of this collaborative volume.
