Stewart VarnerDigital Scholarship Librarian

UNC-Chapel Hill

Distant reading: where distance … is a condition of knowledge: it allows you to focus on units that are much smaller or much larger than the text: devices, themes, tropes—or genres and systems.

Franco Moretti, “Conjectures on World Literature.” New Left Review, January – February 2000

“Part of the explanation for why more historians have not undertaken text mining and topic modeling projects lies in the limited availability of machine readable texts.”

- Stephen Robertson, Director CHMN(http://drstephenrobertson.com/2014/05/23/the-differences-between-digital-history-and-digital-humanities/)

Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: His Early Life as a Slave, His Escape from Bondage, and His Complete History to the Present Time.
