About Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda (1904–1973) was a Chilean poet-diplomat whose enduring cultural influence earned him the #819 rank in MIT's Historical Popularity Index. A Nobel laureate recognized for his sweeping, emotionally rich lyrical poetry and politically charged works, Neruda's literary contributions cemented his status as a globally influential figure across the 20th century.

In 2025, Neruda received approximately 507K Wikipedia views, placing his modern internet attention right at his expected level, indicated by an Attention Gap of ~1x. This level of digital engagement is nearly on par with his historical importance ranking, especially when considering other writers. For instance, he garnered slightly fewer views than George Bernard Shaw (#834 importance, 763K views) but significantly fewer than Isaac Asimov (#920 importance, 1.6M views).

While his overall attention is balanced, the year-over-year trend shows a modest growth of +8.3%. However, his mid-to-late 2025 momentum saw a slight dip of -4% between Q1 and Q3, suggesting a small cooling of immediate online interest following any potential earlier-year event.
