Visualizing Intertextuality

Developed by: Darcy Krasne

A project to visualize intertexts in Latin poetry using nodegoat, Observable Framework, Python, JavaScript, and D3.js. (See the about page for further details, or view the code on GitHub.)

N.B. As Observable is phasing out its cloud hosting, this site will be migrating to http://dkrasne.github.io/visualizing_intertextuality. Please take note of the new address.

Select passage to view

Currently there is a limited set of intertexts in the database. Choose Valerius Flaccus, Argonautica, Book 1, lines 1–4 or Book 2, lines 475–476 to see what the display looks like. You can also view this diagram to get a rough idea of what the full network of intertexts currently looks like.
