Concordance to the Poetry of Thomas Traherne offers an essential, systematic tool for scholars of seventeenth-century literature and poetry, particularly those exploring Traherne’s unique spiritual and philosophical verse. Drawing from H.M. Margoliouth’s definitive 1958 edition, this concordance meticulously catalogs each word and line from Traherne’s complete poetic works, providing a valuable resource for textual analysis, interpretation, and comparative study. By indexing Traherne’s poetry according to individual manuscripts, published books, and marginalia, it brings clarity to the complexities of his textual variations and orthographic idiosyncrasies. The concordance includes only the authoritative texts from the Dobell Folio, eschewing Philip Traherne’s later revisions, and focuses on Traherne’s intended compositions. Concordance entries facilitate cross-referencing within Traherne’s poetic canon, capturing his language’s nuances and revealing thematic connections, such as his profound engagement with concepts of innocence, divinity, and the natural world. Scholars will find the inclusion of rare words, specialized spellings, and titles—annotated for source consistency—a critical aid in interpreting Traherne’s linguistic style and theological insights.
This title was originally published in 1974.
