The Browse Quoted Authors tool, available from the Dictionary tab, locates all quotations from a particular author no matter how Johnson refers to that author on the printed dictionary pages. For example, Edmund Spenser is linked to his quotations regardless of whether Johnson credited Spenser<\/em>, Spenser\u2019s<\/em>, Spens.<\/em>, or just Faerie Queene<\/em>. This tool is a work in progress. We are in the process of confirming that every quotation appears in the cited work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
