R6 class representing an LTO literary theme

Description

The stoRy package uses the Theme R6 class to represent individual LTO literary themes. This class is mostly useful for accessing information about an LTO theme for which the theme name is known in advance.

Details

The class operates on the themes of whichever LTO version happens to be actively loaded into the stoRy package level environment. This is the LTO demo version by default. Run which_lto() to check which LTO version is active in your R session.
