"Ulysses provides the reader with a slew of words, literary styles, and techniques. While countless critics have explored the novel, its language, structure, and history, Eric Bulson argues that numbers and other data allow for new perspectives on the creation, distribution, and composition of Ulysses. In Ulysses by Numbers, Bulson asks what do we gain by analyzing Joyce's novel using new methods in the digital humanities such as text-mining, visualization, social network analysis, and geographic information systems (GIS)? In employing these approaches, Bulson shows how some of the most basic questions about the novel and its history can be viewed in a new light. He demonstrates that these quantitative techniques allow for new answers to questions regarding who read the book, when it was written, how Joyce developed the technique of the interior monologue, and its characters. Bulson uses these techniques not only to understand Ulysses but also to tackle some of the questions and debates emerging out of the Digital Humanities. Finding a middle ground between those who view these techniques as the future of literary studies and those who see it as its death, Bulson argues that this quantitative turn, is, in fact, an opportunity to recalibrate methods, modes of inquiry, and critical assumptions"--
