Power Moby-Dick
Monday, July 21st by Carla
Meg Guroff has launched Power Moby-Dick, a site with vocabulary support and notes for first-time readers of the novel.
She writes:
I was reading the book online because it was easier to look things up that way, and after a few chapters I realized that I was effectively annotating it myself, so I started saving my notes. It was a *ton* of work–about 4 months, start to finish–but I was so engrossed that I didn’t notice what a ridiculously big project it was until I got to the end of the book. By that time, the annotation was almost done.
Notes appear to the left with definitions and, for more information, a link. They are color-coded to highlighted words in Melville’s text.
This is an amazing contribution. On behalf of readers everywhere, Meg, thanks!
