Michael Witmore
I am a scholar of English Renaissance Studies and the author of several books about Renaissance drama, culture and intellectual life... Many of the posts on this blog deal with the statistical analysis of linguistic features in early modern literary texts, with an emphasis on Shakespeare... The blog also deals with philosophical issues surrounding relationships among concrete and abstract objects (e.g., texts, mathematical models of texts, decisions of editors and critics).
