Abstract

Spectator journals published during the Age of Enlightenment served to enhance morality of readers and focused on a plethora of topics, such as the image of women or men, politics and religion. Although spectator journals have been studied extensively, little is known about the sentiment that they express. In this paper, we analyze text sentiment of spectator journals published in four different languages during a time period of over one hundred years. For that, we conduct (i) a sentiment analysis and (ii) analyze sentiment networks, for which we compute and investigate various network metrics, such as degree distributions and clustering coefficients. Additionally, we study the commonalities and differences between negative and positive words according to the respective metrics. Our results depict a high variability in positive and negative word usage and their linking patterns and extend our knowledge of spectator journals published during the Age of Enlightenment.
