Digital history, text mining and text analysis: some possibilities through the use of Perseus Project tools

Abstract

This essay is initially a brief explanation of what the Digital Humanities are, using recent bibliography on this subject. After this initial explanation, an in-depth look at the concept of text mining is carried out and a brief report/critical comment dealing with the use of Perseus as an initial tool for text mining is also presented. Possibilities and limitations found in the use of this tool are presented.
