Previous research on social networks in literary fiction generally fall into one of the two categories: (1) works that explore methods for extracting and formalizing character networks ( <hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" rend="italic">cf</hi>., Elson et al. (2010), Agarwal et al. (2012, 2013), Park et al. (2012)), and (2) works that primarily focus on qualitative implications of network analysis ( <hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" rend="italic">cf</hi>., Rydberg-Cox (2011), Moretti (2011), Nalisnick & Baird (2013), Jayannavar et al. (2015)). It is common to address both tasks at the same time, as in Beveridge & Shan (2016), who introduce a number of formal measures for analyzing the centrality of the characters in <hi xmlns="http://www.tei-c.org/ns/1.0" rend="italic">Game of Thrones</hi> books, which results in both expected and surprising findings.
