Sir Thomas Wyatt, "They Flee From Me" (1557) [commentary by Ian Lancashire]
Alan's hand-annotated copy of "They Flee From Me" (.pdf file)
Franco Moretti, p. 1: "But within that old territory, a new object of study: instead of concrete, individual works, a trio of artificial constructs--graphs, maps, trees--in which the reality of the text undergoes a process of deliberate reduction and abstraction. 'Distant reading' I have once called this type of approach; where distance is however not an obstacle, but a specific form of knowledge: fewer elements, hence a sharper sense of their overall interconnection. Shapes, relations, structures. Forms. Models."

Willard McCarty, Humanities Computing (pp. 21-22) (cf., Moretti on maps as models, 53-54)
