A concordance to the complete poems and plays of T.S. Eliot

A concordance that uses as copy-text the Faber and Faber edition of The Complete Poems and Plays of T.S. Eliot , published in England in 1969 (pity there is no US edition of comparable authority). The concordance is essentially in Key Word in Context form, with each word being treated as a headword and printed centered in a line with its preceding and following context. Within the limitations of the line length, as much left and right context as possible is printed. Provisional though it may be in the slowly developing field of Eliot textual studies (and limited in many ways by comparison with electronic texts), this printed concordance conveys its own special insights, and is far from outmoded.
