+| texts.zip                                 | Text files of the now 558 novels in the corpus. The text has a newline at line breaks in the book, and two newlines at page breaks. Some of the texts (the ones originally set in Fraktur) have been post-OCR-corrected using a procedure described in Bjerring-Hansen et al. (2022). The rest have been post-OCR-corrected using the OCR correction pipeline in the folder above this one. For further information, see the readme of v1.0. |
