Funded Activity Summary

The Anxiety of Authority: Authorship Practices in the Age of Enlightenment. This project aims to provide a comprehensive examination of 18th-century authorship practices through a combination of computational analysis, traditional critical methods, and existing digital resources. Using techniques developed in the digital humanities for large-scale text analysis, the project intends to explore the interrelated concepts of authorship and authority as they were conceived and contested during the Enlightenment period. In so doing, the project plans to offer new insights into the long history of authorship as well as provide a working model for how these kinds of cutting-edge data-intensive approaches can engage meaningfully with the growing cultural record while transforming our knowledge of the past.
