Kinney TKL Chapter (Transfroming King Lear)
- Decided to try to analyse Lr Q1 F1 at the level of scenes
- Since the "sections" and "passages" that Kinney uses to to divide the text to find common occurrences of key function words etc are not available and may have been processed manually we will try to automate this.
- In order to try to reproduce the3 55 occurrences of which that Kinney say are common to both
- Likewise other key function words.
- Break Q1 F1 into scenes
- Identify the missing scene(s)
- Use DTW to align scenes
- Generate bitmaps plots of these alignments
- Make the aligned scenes available online as a resource
- From aligned scenes analyse the key word frequencies a la Kinney.
Details
- Lr F Q in Lilac format
- Added div2 tags for scenes
- GE added scene div2 tags to F1 directly
- MS added scene div2 tags to Q1 based on xml of Q1
- Found some discrepancies between Q1 lilac and xml texts.
- lilac line 799 "Go you" vs xml "Goe you" ....
- GE: "Goe you" is correct. The Lilac text has been silently modernized. This is why we cannot rely on the Lilac texts for anything but explorations. For real tests we need the XML transcriptions our encoders are working on.
- Worryingly ... lilac line 849 -- spurious "\<\/div1\>" vs no "act end" at that point (rather Act 1 - Scene 6) at that point in the xml
- GE: It looks to me like the encoder did the latter because the TEI DTD demands that you can't have a
(which we're using for scenes) that isn't inside a (which we're using for acts). In other words, you can't have a play that's made only of scenes and no acts. But in fact you can ...
Results
- Find the Missing Scene... Looks like the last scene in Q1 is absent from the Folio....
