The project focuses on authorship attribution of versified texts based upon a wide set of rhythmical characteristics. It is planned to (1) create a reliable model for authorship attribution of Czech versified texts, (2) analyse selected Czech versified texts the authorship of which has been questioned or is not known, (3) investigate the employment of verse stylometric analysis in literary history (e.g., periodization, influences of other authors), (4) investigate (in cooperation with foreign experts) the employment of analogous models in authorship attributions of Russian, English, and German poetry.
