Using McElrath and Robb’s The Complete Works of Anne Bradstreet as the base text for The Tenth Muse (1650), this concordance also incorporates all variant lines and words that appear in the 1678 ‘Several Poems’. In addition, every key word is indexed to Jeannine Hensley’s The Works of Anne Bradstreet, the most popular classroom edition of the poems. Key words and contexts retain the original spelling of the first edition, but all words are cross-referenced to variant and modern spellings – one of many features that make this volume a necessary companion to any edition of Bradstreet’s work.

The Concordance to the Major Poems of Edward Taylor is a general use concordance of the work of British colonial and American puritan poet, Edward Taylor (d. 1729). Taylor’s major poems, Gods Determinations and Preparatory Meditations, represent nearly 50 years of poetic production of this devotional poet, whose emphasis on language and linguistic complexity make a concordance an essential tool of scholarship. This keyword-in-context (KWIC) concordance is based on Daniel Patterson’s recent edition, Edward Taylor’s Gods Determinations and Preparatory Meditations (Kent State UP, 2003) and offers users an extensive compilation and sorting of orthographic variants, treatment of homographs as discrete words, and an index of nonsubstantive words and other words typically excluded from such works.
