The Sun Also Rises, Ernest Hemingway's first novel, turns 100 today. ⤵️ Revisit our #OCLCresearch study released this year to see how books held in library collections worldwide offer a unique look at the literary popularity of Hemingway and other 20th-century American writers. #OCLCworldcat

oc.lcThe Importance of Being Ernest Hemingway: Measuring Literary Popularity and Impact with WorldCat DataErnest Hemingway is the most famous 20th-century American novelist, according to a recent article in The Economist. What is the evidence? Among other things, the article cites Wikipedia traffic data, noting that Hemingway’s page has accumulated more than 30 million views over the past 10 years (the second-ranked author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, attracted less than half that total). But is this truly the most reliable data source for understanding an author’s popularity, and can library catalog data offer us a more complete picture?
