Abstract
SUMMARY This paper considers the problem of quantifying literary style and looks at several variables which may be used as stylistic fingerprints of a writer. Statistics plays an important role in the sampling of texts, the building and fitting of models to linguistic data and in the testing of hypotheses, particularly in problems concerned with authorship attribution. The increasing availability of computer concordances of literary texts offers great possibilities to the analyst.
