This book examines the important themes of sexuality, gender, love, and marriage in stage, literary, and film treatments of Shakespeare’s plays.The theme of sexuality is often integral to Shakespeare’s works and therefore merits a thorough exploration.Sexuality in the Age of Shakespeare begins with descriptions of sexuality in ancient Greece and Rome, medieval England, and early-modern Europe and England, then segues into examinations of the role of sexuality in Shakespeare’s plays and poetry, and also in film and stage productions of his plays. The author employs various theoretical approaches to establish detailed interpretations of Shakespeare’s plays and provides excerpts from several early-modern marriage manuals to illustrate the typical gender roles of the time. The book concludes with bibliographies that students of Shakespeare will find invaluable for further study.
