Abstract
In my contribution, I focus on corpus methods in literary science, especially on ones associated with the Czech prose of the 19th century, which significantly thematizes Prague. The corpus of Czech prose of the 19th century is building for this target and their parameters are especially suggestive. The corpus has two main parts, one concentrates on literary cartography maps of fictional spaces, second on quantitative models of narrative speech, motifs analysis (word clouds) and some others quantitative research parameters, which are useful for formal DH analysis of this special set of literary texts. In my contribution I will present not only all of corpus parameters, but on chosen examples I demonstrate usefulness of chosen tools. The corpus of Czech prose of the 19th century represents a type of Digital Humanities research, a Digital Literary Studies project. The results of this project are on the one side a digital database of literary texts and on the other side the tools for their analysing and interpretation.
