Research in corpus analysis has grown and evolved significantly in recent years, with an increase in the tools and resources available for the analysis and exploration of textual corpora. After a brief review of the available corpus analysis programs, this article presents Litcon, a new software developed with special attention to the study of poetic texts in verse. Litcon is cross-platform, it includes common tools of corpus analysis software, such as the generation of concordances, word frequency lists and keywords, and even functionalities for contrasting corpora, tagging and analyzing Part-of-Speech tagged text, and creating random samples. Litcon and its tools are presented through a case study with the poetry of Fernando de Herrera.
