''Fluent and witty . . . confident . . . highly readable''
Kathryn Hughes, GUARDIAN
''Brilliant - so vivid and so sharp, fantastically clever and consistently fascinating''
KATHERINE RUNDELL, author of Super-Infinite
Was Shakespeare gay? The answer is both simpler and more complex than you might think . . .
Shakespeare''s work was profoundly influenced by the queer culture of his time - much of it totally integrated into mainstream society. From a relentless schooling in Latin and Greek homoeroticism, to a less formal education on the streets and in smoky taverns, from the gender-bending of the early comedies to the astonishingly queer literary scene that nurtured Shakespeare''s sonnets, this is a story of artistic development and of personal crisis.
Straight Acting is a surprising portrait of Shakespeare''s queer lives - his own and those in his plays and poems. It is a journey back in time and through Shakespeare''s England, revealing a culture that both endorsed and supressed same-sex desire. It is a call to stop making Shakespeare act straight and to recognise how queerness powerfully shaped the life and career of the world''s most famous playwright.
''Magisterial and saucy . . . This fresh account kickstarts the queer canon of English literature: Shakespeare won''t go back in the closet again''
EMMA SMITH, author of This Is Shakespeare
''Engrossing, enlightening and hugely entertaining''
SARAH WATERS, author of Fingersmith
