AB  - Questions Jonathan Culler's claim that "the apostrophe is the fundamental trope of lyric poems," seeking to discover "whether lyric poems of the English Renaissance are as amenable to his account as those of the romantic and modern poets he discusses," and, if not, asking "what can the different uses of apostrophe in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century poems tell us about them and their rhetorical practices?" Includes discussion of Sonnets 18 and 19.
