dutch_criticism — Dutch literary criticism (1976)

Description

A network of literary criticism among 35 Dutch literary authors and critics in 1976, compiled by W. de Nooy for his study of balance theory in literary criticism, and used as an example in the book "Exploratory Social Network Analysis with Pajek" by W. de Nooy, A. Mrvar and V. Batagelj. Nodes are persons (authors and critics), and a directed edge $i \to j$ means that $i$ passed judgment on the work of $j$ in an interview or a review published in 1976.

The network has the following properties:

(Node) name and id: the name of the person ("Surname, First name").
(Node) x, y and z: the node coordinates in the Pajek source file (their meaning is not documented).
(Edge) weight: which is always 1.
