AB  - Discusses how, in scenes between Romeo and Juliet in that play, Shakespeare transforms formal features of lyric poetry into dramatic poetry as well as theater. Demonstrates how Shakespeare creates passionate intimacy of lovers’ world through embodiment of lyric forms, especially sonnet, epithalamium, and aubade. Draws upon several of Shakespeare’s sources, including Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella, Marlowe’s Hero and Leander, and Arthur Brooke’s Romeus and Juliet, to explore how Shakespeare infuses quintessence of Elizabethan love poetry into play. English summary, 237.
