Let’s load them, along with the libraries we’ll need for this analysis. Each text is in a character vector with elements of about 70 characters. Now they are all ready for text analysis. The UTF-8 plain text for each novel was sourced from Project Gutenberg and then I processed them a bit to remove the Project Gutenberg headers and footers as well as blank lines and NA lines, etc. You can read more details in the documentation and README, but the package contains the full text of the 6 completed, published novels of Jane Austen. The package is available on Github and can be installed via devtools.
I decided to make an R package for her texts, for easy access for myself and anybody else who would like to do some text analysis on a nice sample of prose. It was just so much fun that I wanted to extend some of that work and compare across her body of writing.
In my last post, I did some natural language processing and sentiment analysis for Jane Austen’s most well-known novel, Pride and Prejudice.
