The development of digital writing has allowed not only the emergence of digital humanities from the field of literary creation, but also its analysis using computer tools. These tools have made it possible to establish trends, patterns, and regularities in the texts, often massively, which have opened a field, that of the interpretation mediated by computers, which has generated significant achievements over the past two decades, particularly in what Moretti has called “distant reading”. In this article some of these achievements are presented, namely, quantitative estimates of themes of literary texts, quantitative estimates of content of literary texts, classification of literary texts according to their semantic and lexical properties, the determining of literary patterns by gender and generation, the establishment of similarities between various literary texts, the creation of networks of contemporary authors.
