The Novels of Jane Austen

The titles of Jane Austen’s novels, have been transformed into a continuous line drawn between points on a circle using mathematical code. Each point on the circumference of the circle corresponds to a letter within the title so, for example, ‘Mansfield Park’ produces a path from M to A to N to S to F and so on. When a double letter occurs and hence no line is drawn, a series of concentric circles are drawn, getting wider as the same double letter pair occurs.

The rules have been coded with elements of variation such as colour and the amount of curvature added to each line. Each run of the code produces a unique output.

The six individual pieces have been collated and converted to an ePub file for display on an ebook reader. Download the ePub file for reading on your device (in colour if your device supports it).
