Context of Matches
The Context of Matches page lists the author (including date of birth/death
if known), the title of the work containing the text (if appropriate),
the Bibliographic name/number, the number of pages, the volume from
which it has been taken and its publication date, number of hit(s) found and the line(s) of context
which contains the hit(s). Each instance of your search word is referred
to as a 'hit', and in the case of a Keyword search the hit will be displayed
in a line of context with five words either side. Each hit is indicated
by the symbol '
'
in the line of context. You can also access the Table
of Contents for the document from this page.
Click a work to display the Full Text. The size of the text file is
given next to the title of the work. If this is large (over 200Kb) then
the Downloading full text screen is displayed. From here it is possible
to access the Table of Contents for the volume
from which the work is taken, to allow you to select a smaller portion
of text to download.
If you are also subscribed to Literature Online, you can access Author pages from Literature Online where these are available for authors in EEBO. Simply click the 'Author page in Literature Online' link next to an entry in the Context of Matches- the Literature Online Author page for that author will open in a new window, with EEBO remaining open in the original window.
