Valerie Traub

Desire and Anxiety (Routledge Revivals)

Circulations of Sexuality in Shakespearean Drama

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1992, this book details the intersections and contradictions between sexuality and gender in the early modern period. Valerie Traub argues that desire and anxiety together constitute the erotic in Shakespearean drama - circulating throughout the dramatic texts, traversing 'masculine' and 'feminine' sites, eliciting and expressing heterosexual and homoerotic fantasies, embodiments, and fears.
