This workflow was created to analyse the correspondence between Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald and Lydia Koidula from the years 1867\u20131873 and to map which people appear most frequently in the literary network of the National Awakening on the basis of these letters. The correspondence is one of the most important sources in Estonian literary history, reflecting the development of the national movement, cultural contacts, and relationships between authors. The workflow makes it possible to automatically identify personal names in a text corpus, clean and standardise name forms, and create a structured dataset that can be used to study which figures were most central in the cultural field of the National Awakening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


The output of this workflow is a cleaned dataset of personal names, a frequency analysis, and a network visualisation showing which people appear most frequently in the correspondence of Koidula and Kreutzwald. This approach helps us understand the structure of the literary field of the National Awakening in a new way, offering quantitative support for literary-historical interpretations and making it possible to see which lines of communication and influence shaped the formation of Estonian national literature.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
