Unrecorded usages in Anna Seward's poetry |
Our sample of Seward's poetry is based on two publications, her Elegy on Captain Cook: To Which is Added, an Ode to the Sun ( Seward 1780) and Llangollen Vale, With Other Poems ( Seward 1796). Findings are displayed in four tables: Table 1: Words or usages at present unrecorded in OED Table 4a: Words or usages which plug the eighteenth-century gap in OED's quotation record Table 4b: Words or usages which build up OED's quotation record for the eighteenth century to (or near) the same level as that for the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries.
