Abstract
The paper examines Pavao Ritter Vitezović’s ability to manoeuvre within several different emotional communities through a combination of historical analysis of networks and the method of distant reading from the perspective of the history of emotions. Vitezović’s Latin poetic epistles sent to actual addressees in the period from 1701 to 1703 are used as the main source for the digital-textual analysis, however, the entire corpus of his epistles created in the period from 1676 to 1712 is also taken into account. The paper critically tests the possibility of using the approach of distant reading or macroanalysis on a small amount of text in combination with qualitative analysis or "close reading" as an analytical procedure for historical-emotional research.
