About this book
Directions in Empirical Literary Studies is on the cutting edge of empirical studies and is a much needed volume. It both widens the scope of empirical studies and looks at them from an intercultural perspective by bringing together renowned scholars from the fields of philosophy, sociology, psychology, linguistics and literature, all focusing on how empirical studies have impacted these different areas. Theoretical issues are discussed and solid methods are presented. Some chapters also show the relation between empirical studies and new technology, examining developments in computer science and corpus linguistics. This book takes a global perspective, with contributors from many different countries, both senior and junior researchers. Broad in scope and interdisciplinary in nature, it contributes with the state-of-the-art developments in the field.
Reviews
Denis Dutton , University of Canterbury, New Zealand:
The essays in this volume represent the most advanced and intriguing work being done today in the empirical study of literature. How fitting that they are published in honor of Willie van Peer, an intellectual pioneer whose scholarship will continue to have a powerful effect on criticism and philosophy in years to come.
