Martin" Subject: Re: follow-up Hi Martin, Good to chat. May I ask you some questions about how you envisage applying mathematics to literature, just so we can both think about this more before we meet. Let me ask first what kinds of things in literature you're interested in mathematizing? the reception of literary works, authors, genres, forms, across wide audiences? the diffusion of forms, devices, etc, in time and place? responses to works by individuals? the intensity and form of response, the relation over time between emotion and attention? between the cost of comprehension and the felt benefits? between these factors on a first reading and a re-reading or an nth reading?
