The corpus of the Hungarian novel created at the ELTE Department of Digital Humanities offers new methodologies for the philological research and “distant reading” approaches by providing a digitized, annotated and searchable database of freely accessible novels from the Hungarian literary history. The database fits organically into the international collection of the ELTeC COST Action Project (European Literary Text Collection https://www.distant-reading.net/eltec/), since the first 100 novels of the database are part of the Hungarian sub-corpus of that collection. Beside the description of the corpus and the aspects of the selection, the paper also reports in detail on the possibilities of the quantitative analysis of the novels. In doing so, we want to present what kind of knowledge of the Hungarian literary history can be produced by applying statistical and linguistic approaches, and what role these methods can play in the process of the interpretation of the texts. Through the visualized tendencies, a new history of the style of the Hungarian prose can be outlined, while the peculiarities of some texts in relation to others can lead to the description of the poetics of the given authors and their novels.Keywords: distant reading, corpus linguistics, literary corpus, Hungarian novelshttps://doi.org/10.31915/NWS.2021.7
