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.

"Always write for one reader at a time." --geoff peterson Certain lines write themselves and certain books create their own destiny. Such is the crucible upon which late-night encounters may sometimes save a life. Drama & Desire is that kind of book. Composed in letters and journal entries, it describes an affaire du coeur between a young Japanese student and an aging American writer visiting Paris. Employing sources from the poetic and dramatic traditions of Japan, Peterson creates a multi-layered dreamscape of passion and research in an effort to reconcile the dreamer and memory.

Identifying the stage as a primary site for erotic display, these essays take eroticism in Renaissance culture as a paradigm for issues of sexuality and identity in early modern culture. Contributors examine how the Renaissance stage functioned as a decoder for erotic experience, both reinforcing and subverting expected sexual behaviour. They argue that the dynamics of theatrical eroticism served to deconstruct gender definitions, leaving conventional categories of sexuality blurred, confused - or absent. In seeking to reposition the conventions and subversions of gender and desire in terms of one another, these essays open up an attractive and distinctive perspective in cultural debate.

Informed by film theory and a broad historical approach, Fatal Desire examines the theatrical representation of women in England, from the Restoration to the early eighteenth century—a period when for the first time female actors could perform in public. Jean I. Marsden maintains that the feminization of serious drama during this period is tied to the cultural function of theater. Women served as symbols of both domestic and imperial propriety, and so Marsden links the representation of women on the stage to the social context in which the plays appeared and to the moral and often political lessons they offered the audience. The witty heroines of comedies were usually absorbed into the social fabric by marrying similarly lighthearted gentlemen, but the heroines of tragedy suffered for their sins, real or perceived. That suffering served the dual purpose of titillating and educating the theater audience. Marsden discusses such plays as William Wycherley's Plain Dealer (1676), John Vanbrugh's Provoked Wife (1697), Thomas Otway's Orphan (1680), Thomas Southerne's Fatal Marriage (1694), and William Congreve's Mourning Bride (1697). The author also addresses tragedies written by three female playwrights, Mary Pix, Catharine Trotter, and Delarivier Manley, and sketches developments in tragedy during the period.

"Desire Under the Elms" is a 1924 play by Eugene O'Neill. Like some other O'Neil's plays, "Desire Under the Elms" signifies an attempt to adapt plot elements and themes of Greek tragedy to a rural New England setting. The play was inspired by the myth of Phaedra, Hippolytus, and Theseus. Both plays are driven by a love triangle between a father, a son, and a stepmother.

This study of Bond's later work offers a first critical reading of his post-millennial plays written for Big Brum and Colline: Born (2006), The Under Room (2006), The Balancing Act (2011), and Tune (2011). The study proposes a new understanding of possible relationships between theatre and psychoanalysis; this can be achieved by applying Lacan's Graph of Desire to contemporary British theatre. The Graph's highly nuanced, semiotic take on the dialectic between culture and physicality allows us to pinpoint a structural antagonism between Bond and Brecht in Section One. In Section Two, the Graph is used to defme and theorise Bond's dramaturgical tropes, which appear to dramatise Lacanian 'extimacy'. The 'centre' and 'accident time' entangle an audience oedipally (corporeally) in the drama; the 'site' and the' invisible object' promote forms of active seeing which differentiate between culture and physicality. Our 'aesthetic coordinates of perception' (Ranciere 2004: 83) are disturbed by these processes, which uncover ways of positioning audiences to be creative with, as well as receptive to the linguistic signifier. In this way, Bond's tropes revitalise drama's earliest radical function, an ancient and postmodern capacity to challenge the authority of the 'big other'. Bond achieves this by refusing to turn away from the tragic, or Kristevan abject; he rejects gestic antonyms in favour of careful combinations of indices, icons and symbols - a language of metaphor and metonymy which neither shares a 'postdramatic' disdain for fiction, nor does it 'bar the corporeal' (Irigaray in Lodge 2000: 421). When audiences are co-players in this way, insight may be gained from both the narrative and from their immediate, personal response to its events. In this fresh take on political theatre, staged, visceral events may be read subjectively by audience members; but in facing a situation subjectively, audience members must also face themselves.

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.

Some facets of these plays explored in this study include the asymmetry of gender; the representation of gender as natural and universal or as discursively constructed; the reinforcement or subversion of traditional gender traits, gender principles, and gender structures; and the relationship of sex, gender, and sexuality, terms too often conflated in postmodern and early modern parlance.
