Introduction

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 1 –13

[The research described in this book is designed to help bridge the gap between science and literary scholarship. Building on findings in the evolutionary human sciences, we constructed a model of human nature and used it to illuminate the evolved psychology that shapes the organization of...

A User’s Manual

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 17 –33

[We created an online questionnaire, listed about 2,000 characters from 201 canonical British novels of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and asked respondents to select individual characters and answer questions about them. Potential research participants were identified by scanning...

Agonistic Structure Differentiated by Sex

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 35 –56

[The organization of characters into eight sets forms an implicit empirical hypothesis—the hypothesis that agonistic structure, differentiated by sex, is a fundamental shaping feature in the organization of characters in the novels. We predicted (1) that each of the eight character sets would be...

Determinate Meanings

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 59 –69

[Literary theorists have reached no consensus about whether literary “meaning” can be objectively determined. Most critics have an at least half-conscious conviction that in reading a novel they are deciphering a determinate structure of significations in the sequence of words and sentences. That...

Sexual Politics

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 71 –80

[By obtaining quantitative results on readers’ responses to male and female characters, and by comparing those results with readers’ responses to good and bad characters and to major and minor characters, we can give decisive evidence as to whether responses to Sex vary independently of responses...

Adaptive Function

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 81 –92

[Arguments on the adaptive function of literature and the other arts have occupied more of the shared attention of evolutionary psychologists and evolutionary literary scholars than any other topic. The amount of attention theorists have devoted to this issue signals that it is both crucially...

Jane Austen, by the Numbers

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 95 –122

[Jane Austen bulks larger than any other single author in the data set. Out of the total of 435 characters in the data set, 56, or about 13 percent, are from Austen novels. All of her characters together received 423 codings, or about 29 percent of the 1,470 codings for the whole data set. Since...

Indifferent Tragedy in The Mayor of Casterbridge

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 123 –155

[For the novels of Jane Austen, quantitative methods provide new evidence on disputed issues, offer opportunities for confirming and refining the best insights of traditional criticism, and provide a deeper and more systematic understanding of her underlying designs. For The Mayor of...

Conclusion

Carroll, Joseph; Gottschall, Jonathan; Johnson, John A.; Kruger, Daniel J.

Pages: 157 –175

[After two long chapters devoted to one novelist each, it would perhaps not come amiss to recall that our chief findings have reference to novels covering the whole period from Austen through Forster. The large conclusions that we drew in chapters 2 through 5 are based on statistical results from...
