This book was first published in 2009. This wide-ranging study
investigates the intersections of erotic desire and dramatic form
in the early modern period, considering to what extent disruptive
desires can successfully challenge, change or undermine the
structures in which they are embedded. Through close readings of
texts by Marlowe, Shakespeare, Webster, Middleton, Ford and
Cavendish, Haber counters the long-standing New Historicist
association of the aesthetic with the status quo, and argues for
its subversive potential. Many of the chosen texts unsettle
conventional notions of sexual and textual consummation. Others
take a more conventional stance; yet by calling our attention to
the intersection between traditional dramatic structure and the
dominant ideologies of gender and sexuality, they make us question
those ideologies even while submitting to them. The book will be of
interest to those working in the fields of early modern literature
and culture, drama, gender and sexuality studies, and literary
theory.
