This book explores representations of love and desire between
female characters in nearly seventy plays written between 1580 and
1660. The work argues that playwrights of late sixteenth- and early
seventeenth-century England recognized and constructed richly
diverse tropes of female homoerotic desire. Writers place female
characters in erotic situations with other female characters in
playful scenarios of mistaken identity, in anxious moments of
amorous intrigue, in predatory situations and in enthusiastic,
utopian representations of romantic love. These plays indicate an
awareness of female homoeroticism in early modern England and belie
statements that literary evidence of homosexuality was concerned
primarily with men.
