Rhythmic Corpus of 100 Spanish Golden Age Plays

This dataset, Rhythmic Corpus of 100 Spanish Golden Age Plays, contains one hundred securely attributed comedias by nine major playwrights of the Early Modern period. Each play is provided in two versions: (a) the original text and (b) its corresponding automatic rhythmic scansion, revised and corrected. The corpus underpins the article “From Atoms to Waves: Rhythmic Stylometry for Authorship Studies of Early Modern Spanish Theatre”, by Álvaro Cuéllar, published in Janus. Estudios sobre el Siglo de Oro. It enables full replication of the experiments reported in the article and is intended to support further improvements to rhythmic stylometric analysis, authorship attribution, and metrical research on Golden Age drama. This dataset builds upon the materials and methodology first introduced in the article “Stylometry and Spanish Golden Age Theatre: An Evaluation of Authorship Attribution in a Control Group of One Hundred Undisputed Plays” (Cuéllar, 2024), published in Digital Stylistics in Romance Studies and Beyond, edited by Robert Hesselbach et al. (Heidelberg University Publishing, pp. 101–117, DOI: 10.17885/heiup.1157.c19368).本数据集为《西班牙黄金时代百剧韵律语料库》（Rhythmic Corpus of 100 Spanish Golden Age Plays），收录了早期现代时期9位重要剧作家创作的100部经可靠确认作者归属的西班牙古典喜剧（comedias）。每部剧作均提供两个版本：(a) 原始文本，以及(b) 经修订校正的对应自动韵律标注（automatic rhythmic scansion）结果。 本语料库支撑了阿尔瓦罗·奎利亚尔（Álvaro Cuéllar）发表于《Janus：西班牙黄金时代研究》（Janus. Estudios sobre el Siglo de Oro）的论文《从原子到波浪：早期现代西班牙戏剧作者归属研究中的韵律文体计量学》（From Atoms to Waves: Rhythmic Stylometry for Authorship Studies of Early Modern Spanish Theatre）。该语料库可完整复现该论文中报告的所有实验，旨在为韵律文体计量分析、作者归属研究以及黄金时代戏剧格律研究的进一步优化提供支持。 本数据集依托于2024年发表的材料与方法构建，相关方法首次提出于收录于《罗曼语研究及拓展领域的数字文体计量学》（Digital Stylistics in Romance Studies and Beyond）的论文，该论文集由罗伯特·赫塞尔巴赫（Robert Hesselbach）等编辑，海德堡大学出版社出版，页码范围为101–117，DOI为10.17885/heiup.1157.c19368；对应的核心论文为《文体计量学与西班牙黄金时代戏剧：基于百部无争议剧作对照组的作者归属评估》（Stylometry and Spanish Golden Age Theatre: An Evaluation of Authorship Attribution in a Control Group of One Hundred Undisputed Plays），作者为Cuéllar（2024）。
