Abstract
Does genre constrain an author's style? Attribution scholarship assumes as much and, for this reason, tests to determine authorship typically proceed on a strict, like-versus-like basis. But is this assumption valid, and why should the answer matter? This seminar offers an overview and some preliminary findings of a project attempting to measure the effect of genre on an author's style by analysing stylistic differences and affinities between early modern prose, poetry, and drama.
