Process Posts: Week 5

​

Introduction: The following Process Posts detail the work accomplished thus far for my study on the appearances of the word “worm” within Romantic period literature. This project compiles archived Romantic texts from the database Hathitrust and runs a text analysis of the documents using the software Voyant. I have purposefully explained my work in a blog-like tone and format so to allow all audiences to comprehend the work plan that will eventually lead to my final conclusions. These posts also serve to outline my work plan for more adept Digital Humanities and Romantic scholars, so that feedback on this project is given with a complete understanding of the project’s methods and journey.

​

The Reflections section serves to document my later thoughts on my original process.

​

Update: I will now be using R instead of Voyant to eventually analyze my corpus of texts.
