James Bromley argues that Renaissance texts circulate knowledge
about a variety of non-standard sexual practices and intimate life
narratives, including non-monogamy, anal eroticism, masochism and
cross-racial female homoeroticism. Rethinking current assumptions
about intimacy in Renaissance drama, poetry and prose, the book
blends historicized and queer approaches to embodiment, narrative
and temporality. An important contribution to Renaissance literary
studies, queer theory and the history of sexuality, the book
demonstrates the relevance of Renaissance literature to today.
Through close readings of William Shakespeare's 'problem comedies',
Christopher Marlowe's Hero and Leander, plays by Beaumont and
Fletcher, Thomas Middleton's The Nice Valour and Lady Mary Wroth's
sonnet sequence Pamphilia to Amphilanthus and her prose romance The
Urania, Bromley re-evaluates notions of the centrality of deep,
abiding affection in Renaissance culture and challenges our own
investment in a narrowly defined intimate sphere.
