Authorship and style. A Cervantes attribution from the digital humanities. The case of La conquista de Jerusalén

Abstract

Stylometry has become, in recent years, one of the most solid research methods in the academic field of Digital Humanities. Its effectiveness as a method for authorship attribution has been proven with cases in Spanish and other languages. This paper applies one of these digital methods for the clarification about the hypothesis of La conquista de Jerusalén, attributed to Miguel de Cervantes since its discovery.
