Sexual Types

Embodiment, Agency, and Dramatic Character from Shakespeare to Shirley

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Sexual Types focuses on six figures from the early modern stage-the sodomite, the tribade, the narcissistic courtier, the citizen wife, the bawd, and the court favorite-that reveal in particularly compelling ways, how sexual transgressions were understood to intersect with social, gender, economic, and political transgressions.
