The Cornell Concordances (excerpt from Cornell University Press “NEW BOOKS” July 1988 – January 1989) January, 1989, 984 pages, 6 1/8″ x 9 1/4″, LC 88-47749, ISBN 0-8014-2239-6 cloth. Based on e.e. cummings, Complete Poems: 1913 – 1962, published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in 1968, this computer-based concordance is unlike any other concordance ever made.

As is well known, cummings’ language is frequently eccentric typographically, and it was necessary to construct his “words” and even their contexts from letters that sprawl down the page, or run indiscriminately into other words, or make puns or dialectal terms. Such constructions are marked in the index by a plus-sign. Each indexed word is shown in a context provided by the computer, which was programmed to include some fours words ahead of the key word and four behind it. Other features of the volume’s format are explained in a  brief introduction.
