Beschreibung
'Magisterial and saucy. This fresh account kickstarts the queer canon of English literature: Shakespeare won't go back in the closet again'. EMMA SMITH, author of This is Shakespeare. Shakespeare's early work was profoundly influenced by the queer culture of the time - much of it totally integrated into mainstream society - from a relentless schooling in Latin to a less formal education on the streets of London, and beyond. Taking a closer look at the gender-bending homoeroticism of the early comedies and astonishingly queer literary scene that nurtured Shakespeare's sonnets, Will Tosh tells a story of artistic development and of personal crisis, of Shakespeare as a young man and as we have never before seen him. Straight Acting. is a fresh, surprising portrait of Shakespeare's England, revealing its deeply queer nature, a heritage that we have forgotten but that powerfully and fundamentally shaped the life and career of the world's most famous playwright.
