Atribución de autoría y humanidades digitales en el Siglo de Oro español

Abstract

This paper presents a series of experiments using tools offered by the digital humanities to bring new perspectives to a long-discussed case of authorship attribution: regarding the short novel La tía fingida ("The Pretended Aunt") attributed to Cervantes. The process of compilation of the corpus and some of the general problems of authorship attribution in the Spanish Golden Age are also discussed. By trying out the method of stylometry and using stylo as a tool, the different functions and experiments carried out, both for attribution and authorship verification, are presented. The results show that El celoso extremeño and La tía fingida seem to have a stylistic relatedness so are able to conclude contrasting both works from the stylometric and literary criticism perspective.
