This book features five plays from the English Renaissance that
explore political questions and developments by telling stories
about the erotic impulses of a ruler. The volume contains fully
annotated and modernized versions of Marlowe's Edward II,
Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, Massinger's The Duke of Milan,
Davenant's The Cruel Brother, and Ford's Love's Sacrifice. The
editor provides an introduction, initial discussion, and selected
illustration(s) for each play, along with an introduction to erotic
politics and the Renaissance??????era political mentality. A
bibliography includes suggestions for further reading and a list of
useful websites for students.
