Abstract

The notion of style is pivotal to literature. The choice of a certain writing style moulds and enhances the overall character of a book. Stylometry uses statistical methods to analyze literary style. This work aims to build a recommendation system based on the similarity in stylometric cues of various authors. The problem at hand is in close proximity to the author attribution problem. It follows a supervised approach with an initial corpus of books labelled with their respective authors as training set and generate recommendations based on the misclassified books. Results in book similarity are substantiated by domain experts.
