[Vwoolf] Virginia Woolf--statistically

[Diana Swanson]

Is this a sample of the "digital humanities"? I hope not.

WTF. Resting bitch face.

I can't even.

Ugh.

Onward, Woolfians!

So glad that I have a fresh bar of Green & Black organic chocolate to soothe away the hilarious idiocy of that and stave off the cravings from the chocolate creams thread.

NPR review of Benjamin Bratt's Nabokov's Favorite Word is Mauve: That the Numbers Reveal About the Classics, Bestsellers, and Our Own Writing notes that Virginia Woolf is the writer who uses the fewest cliches.

In her nine novels, she also uses 116 -ly adverbs per 10,000 words.

The most masculine classic novel written by a woman is her Orlando.

The Waves is the #1 book with the most 2-word anaphora:  5.5%.

Bratt includes much more as well (Jim Haule take note!).

Cheers--
Karen Levenback
