(2015) Deixis in the early modern English lyric, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
These poems use deixis in many ways, but especially significant is self-referentiality. That process assumes distinctive forms in Shakespeare's couplets, where it variously looks backward to what has come before and introduces a succeeding statement in ways a colon might have done, thus adding weight and complexity to that statement. These patterns also have implications for other sonnet sequences and for the materiality of texts in other genres as well.
