Annotation:
	Investigates rhetorical mode of Shakespearean apostrophes. Argues that Shakespearean apostrophe offers new perspective for formalist and historicist approaches to emotions. Focuses on “Juliet’s address to ‘fiery footed steeds’; Lear’s address to the storm to ‘blow winds and crack your cheeks’; Lady Macbeth’s invocation to spirits to ‘unsex me here’; and Edmund’s apostrophe in King Lear to the goddess Nature to ‘stand up for bastards.’” English summary, 343.
