The Humanities Go Google

Matthew L. Jockers may be the first English professor to assign 1,200 novels in one class.

As grunts in Stanford University's new Literature Lab, these students investigate the evolution of literary style by teaming up like biologists and using computer programs to "read" an entire library.
