Poems For France

PoemsForFrancePrototype is the initial dataset in Excel format, with additional tabs for Gephi nodes and edges.

These tabs have been copied to the following csv files in order to more easily generate the Gephi graph:

Nodes

• letters
• person
• poems
• publications

Edges

• letter_mention_person
• letter_mention_poem
• letter_mention_publication
• person_author_poem

Results

The graph can be downloaded and dragged into a Neo4j Browser window to import the database

• Persons are orange
• Poems are red
• Publications are blue
• Letters are beige

All Nodes and Edges

Direct Connections to and From Cunard

MATCH p=(:Person {firstName:' Nancy'})-[]-() RETURN p

Cunard and nodes 2 steps away

Excludes letters sent or received directly by her. Cunard is the orange node in the top left, and Poems for France is the blue node in the middle, surrounded by red poems.

MATCH (p:Person {firstName:' Nancy'})-[]-()-[]-(n) RETURN p,n

Notes on querying

• Person nodes have property types firstName and lastName, but Poem has property types authorFirstName and authorLastName ( oversight when importing the data but doesn't cause any issues)
• firstName properties have a space at the beginning (ie firstName: ' Nancy' not firstName: 'Nancy')
