Le tecniche di text analysis trovano ampia applicazione nell’umanistica digitale, in particolare a supporto della critica letteraria su vasti corpora di fonti primarie. In questo articolo si ripercorre, in prospettiva editoriale, la sperimentazione di tecniche di analisi computazionale dei testi – nella fattispecie topic modeling e sentiment analysis – su un corpus di carte d’archivio, il carteggio tra Ignazio Silone e la Arnoldo Mondadori Editore (396 pezzi epistolari). Alla luce dei risultati emersi, si è giunti a ipotizzare come questi strumenti, al di fuori della critica letteraria strictu sensu, possano ricoprire un ruolo di rilievo anche nello studio e, soprattutto, nell’edizione di epistolari d’autore, e come i loro output, integrati a metodologie e tecniche del digital scholarly editing, possano rendere più produttiva l’esperienza di fruizione per i lettori.
