About this book
Hoyt Long offers both a reinterpretation of modern Japanese literature through computational methods and an introduction to the history, theory, and practice of looking at literature through numbers. He weaves explanations of these methods and their application together with reflection on the kinds of reasoning such methodologies facilitate.

Hoyt Long is associate professor of Japanese literature at the University of Chicago, where he also directs the Chicago Text Lab and co-directs the Textual Optics Lab. He is the author of On Uneven Ground: Miyazawa Kenji and the Making of Place in Modern Japan (2012).
Reviews
Michael Emmerich, author of The Tale of Genji: Translation, Canonization, and World Literature:
Lucid, eloquent, and scrupulously measured in its claims, The Values in Numbers offers a fascinating tour of the history and present state of computational approaches to literary research, and does so through case studies that are themselves rich, persuasive, and often surprising. I know I won't be alone in saying that I've been waiting for this book for years.
