| Description: |
Today, specialists of intellectual history make much use of network analysis, a tool borrowed from sociology. The first part of this essay presents the theoretical grounds of network analysis and the problems raised by some of its early adaptations to historical sources. The second part makes several proposals to build ego-networks about the cultural communities of seventeenth-century England. The use of the Short Title Catalogue of Books, published before 1641 (STC), and its extension, the Index of Dedication and Dedicatory Verses, is recommended. The third part develops a case study : the Mermaid’s Tavern, an intellectual circle working in London during the 1610s around Ben Jonson and John Donne. The paper thus demonstrates the possibility and the historical benefits of using network analysis in early modern cultural history provided that the historian takes some theoretical and practical precautions. |
