1z40ks68h84	Jennifer Thorup Birkett	Early Modern Drama and Terms of Endearment	2023		.txt	text/plain	209	6	21	In this dissertation I look to terms of endearment shared by couples in plays by William Shakespeare, Thomas Dekker, Francis Beaumont, and Margaret Cavendish to explore the performative function of pet names and its relationship with early modern notions of marriage, desire, and gender hierarchy. In this sense, this dissertation rescues terms of endearment from obscurity, revealing them as consequential not only for the negotiation of power hierarchies and the establishment of mutuality, but for modern theatrical and editorial practice.	cache/1z40ks68h84.txt	txt/1z40ks68h84.txt
