Shakespeare has been misread for centuries as having modern ideas
about sex and gender. This book shows how in the Restoration and
Eighteenth century, Shakespeare's plays and other Renaissance texts
were adapted to make them conform to these modern ideas. Through
readings of Shakespearean texts, including "King Lear," "Antony and
Cleopatra," and "Othello," and other Renaissance drama, the book
reveals a sexual world before heterosexuality. "Shakespeare and
Renaissance Literature Before Heterosexuality" shows how revisions
and criticism of Renaissance drama contributed to the emergence of
heterosexuality. It also shows how changing ideas about status,
adultery, friendship, and race were factors in that emergence.
