Annotation:
	Argues that blank documents became important signifiers in drama of Shakespeare’s time because of their ability to call signification into question, as well as to probe relationship between authorship and authority. Contends that permissiveness of blank documents proves dangerous in political dramas, both on and off stage. Draws examples from Troilus and Cressida, Twelfth Night, Merry Wives of Windsor, and Richard II. English summary, 259.
