          5. We offer a bibliographic database and narrative markup of chapter-length biographies of women along with ways to discover networks of historical women in the overlapping tables of contents of these books. CBW demonstrates ways to draw upon quantitative and qualitative data in a well-documented corpus of printed text.

          Mid-range reading using the BESS schema in stand-aside XML documents tagged to paragraphs (not words or sentences) may be compared and contrasted with other methods of measuring recurrence and variation in digitized narratives, whether fiction or nonfiction.

          Case studies show further research into thematically related texts in CBW: by an individual person; a social identity; the networks and narratives associated with one book.

          The studies model potential further research by our team or others.
