Literatures in English: Literary Indexes and Concordances
Note: Many of the resources listed under "Full-text
Sites" include online books which are keyword searchable. Such a search
mechanism can function in much the same way as a traditional concordance
for locating specific phrases or passages in a work or by an author. Many
of the resources listed under "Site Directories" such
as Literary
Resources on the Net and Voice of the
Shuttle function as indexes to web-based literature sources.
