AB  - Analyzes Shakespeare's "portrayal of the union of the phoenix and the turtle in relation to the conventions of visionary devotional poetry" in Phoenix and Turtle, arguing that "the key to such a reading is found partly in the poet's practice of 'architectural' and even 'theatrical' mode of composition and in his use of bird imagery." Demonstrates that "a topomorphical analysis of the interconnectedness of the poem's three parts and its distribution of metaphors reveals a carefully designed devotional poem mainly based on three sources: Barthélemy Aneau's emblem "Matrimonii typus" (1552), Giordano Bruno's phoenix emblems in De gl'eroici furori (1585), and consistent allusions to the Latin Death Mass."
