Abstract

Ulysses has been read obsessively for a century. What if instead of focusing on the words to understand the structure, design, and history of Joyce’s masterpiece, we pay attention to the numbers?Taking a computational approach, Ulysses by Numbers lets us see the novel’s basic building blocks in a significantly new light—words, paragraphs, pages, and characters, as well as the original print run and the dates marking the beginning and end of its composition. Numbers provide access into Joyce’s creative process, enhanced by graphs, diagrams, timelines, and maps, and they also give us a startling new perspective on the proportions that continue to structure, organize, and pace the reading experience. Numbers are there to help us navigate the history of Ulysses from its earliest material beginnings, and they offer a concrete basis upon which we can explore the big questions about its length, style, origins, readership, and design.An innovative computational reading on both a micro and macro level, Ulysses by Numbers is a timely intervention into debates about the use and abuse of quantitative methods in literary analysis. Eric Bulson demonstrates how reading by numbers can bring us closer to the words of Ulysses, helping us rediscover a novel we thought we already knew.

Abstract

Gibbon's History is one of the great master-narratives in the Western tradition. This book examines the ways in which Gibbon uses numbers: not only as historical evidence, for informational purposes, but to persuade (and sometimes to amuse), through the creation of a narrative voice that is at once authoritative and personal.

Abstract

"Compositeur de poésie, de mathématique et de littérature" : c’est ainsi qu’aime à se définir Jacques Roubaud, né en 1932. Son œuvre est un continent complexe, où la prose se mêle à la poésie, les Troubadours aux poètes du Japon ancien, l’humour à la gravité. À l’impermanence des choses et des êtres, Roubaud oppose la cohérence d’une création suprêmement ordonnée, dont le temps, l’amour, le deuil et la mémoire sont les fondements. L’amour du nombre permet la création ou la restauration de formes exigeantes, ordonnant à la fois la parole et l’image qu’elle renvoie du monde. Cet ouvrage offre pour la première fois une vue globale et panoramique de l’œuvre, tout en ouvrant des pistes de lecture jusqu’ici peu explorées : Roubaud et la musique, la mathématique, la théorie du rythme abstrait, la photographie, l’art contemporain.
