商品簡介
Stanley Wells draws on his unparalleled knowledge of Shakespeare's life, times, and work to create a marvellously illuminating book. Through detailed reference to written sources, he takes us to the brothels, bedchambers, marriages, and divorces of Stratford-upon-Avon; and to the metropolitan buzz of London, including its burgeoning industry in homoerotic publishing. He shows how Shakespeare's attitude to sex developed over the course of his writing career, and explores the multiplicity of ways in which he deploys it: sexual humour; sexual jealousy; sexual experience; same-gender relationships. Through this one perennially enticing subject, Wells brings a myriad of ideas and insights to life.
`From bawdy and bed-tricks to same-sex love and the pangs of sexual jealousy, Shakespeare, Sex, and Love offers a magisterial account---by the leading Shakespeare authority of our day---of the subject at the very heart of the plays and poems. It's also a terrific read.'
