This book is the first comprehensive account of homoeroticism in
Renaissance drama. Mario DiGangi analyses the relation between
homoeroticism and social power in a wide range of literary and
historical texts from the 1580s to the 1620s, drawing on the
insights of materialist, feminist and queer theory. Each chapter
focuses on the homoerotics of a major dramatic genre (Ovidian
comedy, satiric comedy, tragedy and tragicomedy) and studies the
ideologies and institutions it characteristically explores. DiGangi
examines distinctions between orderly and disorderly forms of
homoerotic practice in both canonical and unfamiliar texts. In
these readings, the various proliferating forms of homoeroticism
are indentified in relation to sodomy, against which there were
cultural and legal prohibitions in the period. DiGangi's study
illuminates, through a diverse range of plays, the centrality of
homoerotic practices to household, court and city life in early
modern England.
