Abstract
This articles presents a project bearing the direct stamp of David Greetham, the Ecclesiastical Proust Archive <http://proustarchive.org>, which began as an experiment in isolating textual features and grew into a larger project synthesizing editorial, archival, and analytic practices. The project’s examination of textuality might seem at odds with its more recent forays into text analysis and topic modeling. Its evolution is interesting in light of recent trends in digital humanities that attempt to balance “big data” analysis and actual humanities interpretation. In what follows I will describe how the project came about as a way of interpreting Proust’s À la recherche du temps perdu and then, with David’s nudging, developed into an open-ended digital humanities project that continues to evolve today.
