In both feminist theory and Shakespearean criticism, questions
of sexuality have consistently been conflated with questions of
gender. First published in 1992, this book details the
intersections and contradictions between sexuality and gender in
the early modern period. Valerie Traub argues that desire and
anxiety together constitute the erotic in Shakespearean drama
circulating throughout the dramatic texts, traversing masculine and
feminine sites, eliciting and expressing heterosexual and
homoerotic fantasies, embodiments, and fears. This is the first
book to present a non-normalizing account of the unconscious and
the institutional prerogatives that comprise the erotics of
Shakespearean drama. Employing feminist, psychoanalytic, and new
historical methods, and using each to interrogate the other, the
book synthesises the psychic and the social, the individual and the
institutional."
