Annotation:
	"Explores the conjunction of secretly exchanged verses (often sonnets, or almost) and material love tokens in Shakespeare’s love tragedies Romeo and Juliet and Troilus and Cressida," as well as in Senecan tragedies including Hamlet. Shows how sonnets in these genres are often incomplete or unsuccessful and how love tokens are lost, both of which symbolize failed love. English summary, 251.
