In michaelgavin/tei2r: Import and parse TEI files in R

Description

The tei2r package imports collections of plain-text or TEI-encoded files into the R environment and makes them available for quantitative analysis.

What it does

The basic purpose of the tei2r package is to help users get their TEI-encoded files into R. It is specifically designed for use with files generated by the Text Creation Partnership, providing easy access to thousands of early modern and eighteenth-century texts.
