Anupam Basu is Assistant Professor of English at Washington University in St. Louis. An early modernist working on print culture and drama, his work has increasingly succumbed to the seductions of scale as he develops techniques to make the entire Early English Books Online Text Creation Partners (EEBO-TCP) corpus tractable for search and analysis as part of the ACLS- and Mellon-funded EarlyPrint project. He is currently working on a monograph on form and scale that asks how we might rethink literary forms through computational analysis. He has also published on the representation of poverty, vagrancy, and criminality in popular literature.
