- Abstract
This review essay discusses the monograph Love in Numbers: Sládkovič's Marína from the viewpoint of quantitative linguistics authored by Michal Místecký, Natália Kolenčíková, Martin Navrátil and Gabriel Altmann (Bratislava: Veda, 2020). The book is a significant contribution to quantitative research of literary texts, a field currently viewed to a large extent as part of Digital Literary Studies. Using mathematical tools in the research of literary genres is not incoherent with traditional literary studies, on the contrary - it enables to create a fruitful dialogue between these approaches. This is also testified by the quantitative analysis of the key poem of Slovak Romanticism, Andrej Sládkovič's (1820 - 1872) Marína (1846). The essay discusses the results of the collective efforts employing quantitative methods to the research of Sládkovič's work. It concludes that the authors of Love in Numbers were able to put statistical methods and recent advancements in the field into a dialogue with philosophy of technology and that their publication benefited from the fruitful interdisciplinary character of their work.
