Multifractality in Literature

Caption

Multifractality in literature. The numbers correspond to the position of a given literary work in the pool as in detailed list available in the scientific publication). The color red indicates works traditionally belonging to the genre of stream of consciousness. On the vertical axis is the width of the multifractal spectrum -- in those closer to unity, the text has a more multifractal structure. The horizontal axis is the degree of persistence H, in this case in the length of the sentences. A higher value of H means that there is a greater probability of a long sentence immediately following a long one, and a short one following another short. H = 0.5 means the lack of such a tendency.
