Composite List.

This list contains all works from all the source lists, except those works that have been disqualified, which are listed separately. The data can be viewed by rank, author, title, publication date, or alternative rank, as in the first column of the table below. Note that the "by rank" choice refers to my own ranking system. The "alternative rank" choice rates the works in different fashions that avoid some pitfalls of the adopted system while introducing others, as is explained in full under the alternative ranking systems. To view each source list in the order of its own ranking system, see the source lists.

You can also view the data in parts, by the number of sources the works appear in, as in the second column of the table below. The separate listing of disqualified works is also available here.
