Annotation:
	Revisits Oscar Wilde's interpretation of the fair youth in the procreation sonnets. Drawing on Eric Auerbach, looks for traces of the medieval Figura in Shakespeare's sonnets, noting the different connotations of figura across languages. Points to Shakespeare's theatrical and performative language in his sonnets.
