Mark Algee-Hewitt is an Associate Professor of Digital Humanities at Stanford University where he has directed the Stanford Literary Lab since 2017. His work applies computational methods to literary analysis, using quantitative models to explore the representational aesthetics of the writing of the past three centuries. At the Literary Lab, he leads a diverse set of projects including a study of science communication in contemporary Climate Fiction, a Mellon funded investigation into the relationship between Literary Theory and its use in criticism, and a computational analysis of domestic spaces in nineteenth-century novels. His own work focuses on the aesthetic theory of the long eighteenth-century and his book, The Afterlife of Aesthetics is forthcoming with Cambridge University Press.
