Marvin Spevack has used the resources of the German Computing Centre, Darmstadt, to compile a new and unprecedentedly complete concordance to the works of Shakespeare. The first two volumes contain separate concordances to the comedies and histories and to each of their characters, and the second ends with separate and consolidated concordances to the non-dramatic works. Volume three is to cover the tragedies, Pericles, The Two Noble Kinsmen and the Shakespearian portion of Sir Thomas More, while a further three volumes will be occupied by a consolidated concordance to the complete works. The present volumes supply exhaustive statistical information about the vocabulary of the texts they include, beginning with act, scene and line reference for every occurrence of every word, and extending to data about the incidence of verse and prose and about the vocabulary of every speaking part. The concordance is based on a modernized, American-spelling text which is to be published by the Houghton Mifflin Company. Wherever this text departs from the readings of the early text on which it is based, the concordance indicates the fact, but does not record the rejected reading. Homographs differently etymologized by the O.E.D. are separately listed and indicated with an asterisk. This concordance will clearly be an indispensable tool for future analysts of Shakespeare’s language.
