THE PLANET OF LITERATURE: FRANCO MORETTI’S NEO-PERSPECTIVIST METHOD

Summary/Abstract: The Planet of Literature: Franco Moretti’s Neo-perspectivist Method. This study focuses on the revolutionary method of quantitative analysis, as it is employed within the field of literary studies by the literary historian and theorist Franco Moretti. His approach to the evolution of literary genres is pervaded by both a rational view upon literature and a certain postmodern perspectivism. Through such an integrative analysis of the different systems and networks of literature, literary history can become a scholarly discipline that is finally freed from its internal complexes.
