Deixis in the Early Modern English Lyric: Unsettling Spatial Anchors Like ''Here,'' ''This,'' ''Come''

This book engages with deictics ('pointing' words like here/there, this/that) of space. It focuses on texts by Donne, Shakespeare, Spenser, and Wroth in particular, relating their forms of deixis to cultural and generic developments; but it also suggests parallels with both iconic and neglected texts from a range of later historical periods.
