Gothic times
You have a new project! Your boss has asked you to perform an analysis with a dataset of books. You have several tasks to complete. Your first task is to analyze Gothic fiction books.
The dataset books_gothic is in a wide format. Any analysis will require you to reshape the data into a long format. To that aim, you will melt your dataset. You will reshape the dataset using several variables as identifiers to decide which is the best format.
The books_gothic dataset is available for you. Make sure to examine it in the console!
