Measuring large scale space perception in literary texts

A center and radius of “perception” (in the sense of environmental cognition) can be formally associated with a written text and operationally defined. Simple algorithms for their computation are presented, and indicators for anisotropy in large scale space perception are introduced. The relevance of these notions for the analysis of literary and historical records is briefly discussed and illustrated with an example taken from medieval historiography.
