These are two datasets of the Distance Reading Mennonite Writing (DRMW) Project:
The Literary Texts dataset is a searchable dataset of literary texts by or about Mennonites, written in English and published up to and including the year 2020; and
The Critical Texts dataset is a searchable dataset of literary criticism pertaining to Mennonite Literature, written in English up to and including the year 2020.
Notes: The DRMW Project team includes Dr. Robert Zacharias (Principal Investigator, York University), with PhD students Kyle Gerbrant (University of Waterloo) and Marion Tempest Grant (York University).
The DRMW Project datasets are a work in progress. DRMW 1.0, the first published draft of the dataset, was completed in December 2023. We anticipate periodic updates that incorporate the feedback of others in the field, as we move the project toward a comprehensive and exhaustive dataset. As such, we invite feedback to the project from its users, including omissions or corrections. Please send feedback to rzach@yorku.ca, using the subject heading “DRMW Dataset.”
This project is funded by two internal grants at York: a Minor Research Grant (2020) and a LA&PS Small Research Grant (2023).
