The year 2013 was our annus mirabilis. What began as a little innocent wonking-out on Moby-Dick became the largest literary annotation project the World Wide Superhighway has ever seen, with thousands of contributors coming together to save readers from schlepping to a dictionary (OK, opening a new browser tab) every time they come across a phrase like annus mirabilis. Our library expanded to imposing dimensions and our readers broke down everything from The Waste Land to contemporary spoken-word as never before. When the pixelated dust cleared, we wondered which authors and texts had proved most popular with the scholars, teachers, and plain old lit nerds who make up the site's collective Genius. The results: 10 Most Annotated Cla**ic Authors (by # of annotations): 10 Most Annotated Cla**ic Authors (by # of annotators): Most Represented Authors in PG Library (by # of text pages) And, because you're burning to know... Most Annotated Transcendentalists: Fun fact If you count the show writers of Breaking Bad as litterateurs, they would take the 10th place on both Most Annotated Authors lists, beating out Coleridge and Cather respectively. Must be all those Walt Whitman references.
