The Complete Works of Shakespeare
about one million words
| The entire database of William Shakespeare the Complete Works, Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor, Oxford University Press, 1989, Electronic Edition for the IBM PC. |
| The concatenation order of Shakespeare's works was determined by a combinatorial optimization algorithm that attempts to position dark grid boxes near the main diagonal, emphasizing clusters of similar documents. Without automatic reordering it would be impossible to see the large dark cluster in the upper left formed by the European Histories. The tokens matching the most in this cluster (the dominant vocabulary in the European Histories after term weighting) include Richard, God, Duke, John, Lord, Henry, Sir, death, Queen, York, France, hand, and blood. |
