Summary/Abstract: Literary scholars often do not trust computer tools in the analysis of text. This article aims to show how digital methods can be used to propose new ways of analyzing a given text – namely, Leopold Tyrmand’s Dziennik 1954 – based on data derived from digital analysis. Considerations of a genological nature are presented, supported by the results of stylometric research. A linguistic view of communism emerging from the text is interpreted on the basis of a corpus study. The methods proposed thus combine not only traditional poetics with modern, computer‑based analyses, but also literary and linguistic research.
