It has been a hundred years. EM Forster’s ‘A Passage to India’ has been read, dissected, interpreted, loved, mutilated, lugged around, thrifted, borrowed from and licked by the most popular and the most fringe discourses in literary studies.

By Ruby Smith, Second Year, English‘Young adult novels’ is a term many readers are familiar with. Books within this genre are written for a teenage audience, covering themes of coming-of-age, politics, identity, friendships and relationships. A loosely defined but easily recognisable genre. The term ‘Dark Romance’ is a more modern phrase, a genre made popular through internet trends and social media crazes such as those on BookTok. ‘Dark Romance’ is best described through its tropes. Often associated with the fantastical, the genre covers mature and sexually explicit romances, notable for their extreme power imbalances and questionable morals. Tropes of large age…
Elections in West Africa since 2020 have resulted in peaceful democratic transitions in countries such as Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal, amid coups d’état elsewhere in the region, in Burkina Faso, Guinea, Mali and Niger. Violence, ballot box snatching, mis- and disinformation, vote buying, voter apathy and voter suppression have marked many of the region’s elections.

Computational thematics: comparing algorithms for clustering the genres of literary fiction
Data: The “ground truth” genresSystematic research on computational stylistics is common, while research on computational thematics is still rare (Allison et al., 2011; Schöch, 2017; Šeļa et al., 2022; Underwood, 2016; Wilkens, 2016). Why? Computational stylistics has clear “ground truth” data against which various methods of text analysis can be compared: authorship. The methods of text analysis in computational stylistics (e.g., Delta distance or Cosine distance) can be compared as to how well they perform in the task of classifying texts by their authorship. We write “ground truth” in quotes, as authorship is no more than a convenient proxy for…
