Summary
Shakesqueerputs the most exciting queer theorists in conversation with the complete works of William Shakespeare. Exploring what is odd, eccentric, and unexpected in the Bardrs"s plays and poems, these theorists highlight not only the many ways that Shakespeare can be queered, but also the many ways that Shakespeare can enrich queer theory. This innovative anthology reveals an early modern playwright insistently returning to questions of language, identity, and temporality, themes central to contemporary queer theory. Since many of the contributors do not study early modern literature,Shakesqueertakes queer theory back and brings Shakespeare forward, challenging the chronological confinement of queer theory to the last two hundred years. The book also challenges conceptual certainties that have narrowly equated queerness with homosexuality. Chasing all manner of stray desires through every one of Shakespearers"s plays and poems, the contributors cross temporal, animal, theoretical, and sexual, boundaries with abandon. Claiming adherence to no one school of thought, the essays considerThe Winterrs"s Talealongside network TV,Hamletin relation to the death drive,King Johnas a history of queer theory, andMuch Ado about Nothingin tune with a Sondheim musical. Together they expand the reach of queerness and queer critique across chronologies, methodologies, and bodies.Contributors Matt Bell Amanda Berry Daniel Boyarin Judith Brown Steven Bruhm Peter Coviello Julie Crawford Drew Daniel Mario DiGangi Lee Edelman Jason Edwards Aranye Fradenburg Carla Freccero Daniel Juan Gil Jonathan Goldberg Jody Greene Stephen Guy-Bray Ellis Hanson Sharon Holland Cary Howie Lynne Huffer Barbara Johnson Hector Kollias James Kuzner Arthur L.
