This chapter introduces the project The Riddle of Literary Quality in
which computational text analysis methods were applied to help understand
what makes contemporary novels literary or not in the eyes of their readers. The
chapter concisely describes the institutional approach of Bourdieu’s sociology of
art, the new sociology of art in which the artwork itself is placed back into the
picture, and neo-Darwinian thoughts about art. Next follows a short overview
of the affordances of computational literary studies and of the empirical study
of literature. All disciplines together form the background against which The
Riddle of Literary Quality took a totally new, combined approach to research
into literary value attribution.
