VEP Early Modern Drama Collection

We have curated three corpora of drama-related texts. These corpora are differentiated by a widening definition of what constitutes ‘drama,’ and an extended cut-off date. Each corpus is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Before downloading the corpora, read about the format of the text files here, and about our text processing workflow here. Corpora are generated from Text Creation Partnership (TCP) XML files. Please note that our download corpora do not contain texts from EEBO-TCP Phase II, which will not be in the public domain until five years after the completion of the TCP project for Phase II. However, you can download and explore metadata and Ubiqu+ity token-counts from both the Phase I and Phase II texts–and you can use Ubiqu+Ity to tag all of the files in any corpus with your own rules.

我们整理了三部戏剧相关文本语料库。三部语料库的划分依据为：对“戏剧”的定义逐步拓宽，且截止日期依次延后。每部语料库均以知识共享署名-非商业性使用-相同方式共享4.0国际许可协议（Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License）进行发布。下载语料库前，请先查阅此处的文本文件格式说明与文本处理流程说明。所有语料库均源自文本创作合作项目（Text Creation Partnership, TCP）的XML文件。请注意，我们提供的可下载语料库不包含EEBO-TCP第二阶段（EEBO-TCP Phase II）的文本；该阶段文本需待TCP第二阶段项目完成五年后，方可进入公有领域。不过，您可下载并探究第一阶段与第二阶段文本的元数据及Ubiqu+ity Token计数，还可通过Ubiqu+Ity按照自定义规则为任意语料库中的全部文件添加标记。
