An annotated novel is a book-length dramatic narrative for which marginal comments have been added to explain, interpret, or illuminate words, phrases, themes, or other elements of the text. The annotated novel is a secular parallel to the variety of older annotated Bibles in which scholars provide historical, theological, cultural, or other illuminations of the Biblical text. == Recent examples == Some of the books that have been annotated recently include: * Michael Patrick Hearn's annotations to Mark Twain's ''The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn'' * Michael Patrick Hearn's annotations to Charles Dickens' ''A Christmas Carol'' * Martin Gardner's annotations to Lewis Carroll's ''Alice in Wonderland'' and ''Through the Looking-glass'' * Leslie S. Klinger's annotations to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's ''Sherlock Holmes'' * Douglas A. Anderson's annotations to J. R. R. Tolkien's ''The Hobbit''. Some annotations are brief, requiring only one or a few sentences. Others are lengthy, continuing for one or more pages. Normally, the novel's text occupies the center of the page, and the annotations, which are keyed numerically to the words and phrases with which they are associated, run down the left side of the left page and down the right side of the right page. However, sometimes the annotations appear at the bottom of both pages, as in ''The New Schofield Reference Bible'' and ''The Riverside Shakespeare''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Annotated novel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
