What would happen if we searched "Alexander" globally across EEBO?

Not much. Here's what a subject search came up with. A title search using "Alexander the Great" did not yield any different results.

A colleague of mine has come across a reference by Anne Bradstreet to Sidney
which compares him to "Alexander the Great"; he was wondering if this
comparison is common for Sidney and where he might turn for further insight
on how Alexander is invoked in the early modern period.  Quick to my mind is
Fluellen's analogy of Henry V to Alexander the "Pig," but I'm wondering if
there are critical works on this topic that he should not overlook.

I'm grateful for any suggestions.

Best, Jean Feerick
