Thomas Pynchon’s style has dazzled and bewildered readers and critics since the 1960s, and this open access 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 Mason & Dixon.
As the first book-length stylistic or computational stylistic examination of Pynchon’s oeuvre, Thomas Pynchon and the Digital Humanities 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.
