Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)

 

A Concordance to the Later Lectures of Ralph Waldo Emerson

Compiled by Mila Tasseva-Kurkchieva


Note: In the printed version of the Emerson's later lectures, there are many words with diacritics or ligatures, which we have had to substitute for the closest English characters. We also had to exclude from the concordance the few occasions where Greek characters were used.


To Get Started: After clicking "Enter the Concordance" below, a separate browser window will open with three frames, as well as an alphabetical list across the top that can be used to access later or deeper word-lists.  The left frame will list the concorded words. If you click on a word in the word-list, the upper-right frame will show occurrences of this word, the word itself appearing in red.  To the right of each occurrence will be a reference (e.g. 2 NHI71 51), the first number in which is the number of the volume, followed by the title or abbreviation of the lecture (titles and abbreviations listed below), followed by the page number in the printed version on which the concorded word appears.  Clicking on this reference will load the relevant text of the lecture into the lower-right frame with the concorded word appearing in the first or second of the top lines in the frame.
