A Corpus of English Dialogues 1560-1760 (CED)

This corpus contains dialogues from literary and didactic works from 1560 to 1760.
There are five text-types in the CED. The text-types representative of constructed dialogue are drama comedy, didactic works (language manuals and other handbooks) and fiction; the text-types representative of authentic dialogue are trial proceedings and witness depositions. In addition, a small group of miscellaneous dialogic texts is included in the collection.
The corpus is available for download from the Oxford Text Archive.
