Thomas Pynchon and the Digital Humanities

Thomas Pynchon's style has dazzled and bewildered readers and critics since the 1960s and this book employs computational methods from the digital humanities to reveal heretofore unknown stylistic trends over the course of Pynchon's career as well as challenge critical assumptions regarding foregrounded and supposedly Pynchonesque stylistic features: ambiguity/vagueness acronyms ellipsis marks profanity and archaic stylistics in <i>Mason & Dixon</i>. <br/>As the first book-length stylistic or computational stylistic examination of Pynchon's oeuvre <i>Thomas Pynchon and the Digital Humanities</i> provides a groundwork of stylistic experiments and interpretations with over 60 graphs and tables presented in a manner in which both technical and non-technical audiences may follow.
