AB  - Demonstrates the elusive nature of the pun by exploring different types of wordplay in Sonnet 135 and John Donne's "A Valediction: Of Weeping." Argues that the pun "designates (or ought to designate) a family of diverse phenomena rather than pinpoints an essential similarity common to them all" and that his method "resists the temptation to unearth definitive criteria common to all puns and allows [him] (eventually) to argue that definitive criteria cannot even be ascribed to a single pun."
