They crossed the valley of Catamarca: A study of narrative space in novel openings

Novel openings’ similarities and differences raise literary-historical questions. With our contribution, we aim to advance that research by means of digital text annotation and spatiality analysis of the openings of a selection of 19th and 20th century novels in German and Spanish.

Abstract

Novel openings’ similarities and differences raise literary-historical questions. With our contribution, we aim to advance that research by means of digital text annotation and spatiality analysis of the openings of a selection of 19th and 20th century novels in German and Spanish.
