"Graphs, Maps, Trees: Abstract Models for Literary History" by Franco Moretti explores a revolutionary approach to literary analysis, advocating for the use of quantitative methods in literary studies 【1】【2】. Instead of traditional close reading, Moretti proposes "**distant reading**" through **abstract models** 【3】【4】. The book emphasizes **data visualization** through graphs, maps, and trees 【5】.

Here are some themes and topics that can help you draw connections to other books in a library:

*   **Distant Reading**: This is a central theme, focusing on analyzing literature through quantitative data and computational methods rather than close reading of individual texts 【6】【3】.
*   **Quantitative Literary Analysis**: The application of statistical and mathematical techniques to study literary trends, patterns, and structures 【5】【1】.
*   **Graphs, Maps, and Trees as Analytical Tools**:
    *   **Graphs**: Used to represent literary trends over time.
    *   **Maps**: Used to explore the geographical dimensions of literary phenomena 【7】.
    *   **Trees**: Used to illustrate the morphological and historical development of literary forms 【8】.
*   **Literary History**: Re-evaluating literary history using abstract models and quantitative data to reveal large-scale patterns 【3】.
*   **Social-Scientific Tools**: Employing methods from social sciences to understand the influence and dynamics of literature 【9】.
