What is a Concordance?

A concordance is the list of keywords in a text along with the context in which those terms appear. The first major concordance for an English text was published in 1550 for the Bible. Later on concordances were created for the works of Shakespeare and other major authors. Windexer has created an Interactive Index and two concordances to the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

Poem XI of the Rubaiyat

Here with a Loaf of Bread beneath the Bough,
A Flask of Wine, a Book of Verse - and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness -
And Wilderness is Paradise enow.
