MONK
MONK is a digital environment designed to help humanities scholars discover and analyze patterns in the texts they study.
It supports both micro analyses of the verbal texture of an individual text and macro analyses that let you locate texts in
the context of a large document space consisting of hundreds or thousands of other texts. Shuttling between the “micro” and
the “macro” is a distinctive feature of the MONK environment, where you may read as closely as you wish but can also practice
many forms of what Franco Moretti has provocatively called “distant reading.”
