  Paying attention to Sidney's Arcadia, Spenser's Faerie Queene, and Shakespeare's romances, this study examines chiasmus in early modern English literature. This book also offers fresh interpretations of seemingly shopworn conventions such as memento mori conceits, echo poems, and the staging of deus ex machina.
