Annotation:
	Discusses how early modern metaphors associated with the humoral body represent drama, politics, and travel in several of Shakespeare's plays. Examines blood metonyms and metaphor in Richard II; discusses the failure of archetypal healers in Winter's Tale, Alls Well That Ends Well, and Measure for Measure; and uses As You Like It to compare pastoral drama to travel narratives.
