By employing quantitative methods, Moretti encourages readers to explore literature on a broader scale, revealing patterns and trends that often go unnoticed. His innovative perspective invites scholars and enthusiasts alike to reconsider how we engage with literature as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Story\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoretti's work challenges the conventional focus on individual texts and their intricate meanings. Instead, he advocates for a 'distant' perspective, where one can analyse vast amounts of literature through data visualisation and statistical methods.
