Early plays faced vexing challenges in depicting sexuality, but modes of queerness, including queer scopophilia, queer dialogue, queer characters, and queer performances, fractured prevailing restraints. Many of these plays were produced within male homosocial environments, and thus homosociality served as a narrative precondition of their storylines. Building from these foundations, On the Queerness of Early English Drama investigates occluded depictions of sexuality in late medieval and early Tudor dramas. Tison Pugh explores a range of topics, including the unstable genders of the York Corpus Christi Plays, the morally instructive humour of excremental allegory in Mankind, the confused relationship of sodomy and chastity in John Bale's historical interludes, and the camp artifice and queer carnival of Sir David Lyndsay's Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis. Pugh concludes with Terrence McNally's Corpus Christi, pondering the afterlife of medieval drama and its continued utility in probing cultural constructions of gender and sexuality."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-234) and index. 505 0 $a A Subjunctive Theory of Dramatic Queerness -- Themes of Friendship and Sodomy -- Performative Typology, Jewish Genders, and Jesus's Queer Romance in the York Corpus Christi Plays -- Excremental Desire, Queer Allegory, and the Disidentified Audience of Mankind -- Sodomy, Chastity, and Queer Historiography in John Bale's Interludes -- Camp and the Hermaphroditic Gaze in Sir David Lyndsay's Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaitis -- Conclusion: Theatrical Medievalisms, Terrence McNally's Corpus Christi, and the Queer Legacy of Early English Drama. 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 650 0 $a English drama $y To 1500 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Gay erotic literature, English $z England $x History and criticism. $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Homosexuality in literature. 650 0 $a Sexual minorities in literature. 650 0 $a Gender identity in literature. 650 0 $a Sex in literature. 650 0 $a Sexual orientation in literature. 650 0 $a Desire in literature. 650 0 $a Eroticism in literature. 650 7 $a Eroticism in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01896123 650 7 $a Desire in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00891364 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a Gender identity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00939607 650 7 $a Homosexuality in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959825 650 7 $a Sex in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114464 650 7 $a Sexual minorities in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01904663 650 7 $a Sexual orientation in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114914 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pugh, Tison. $t On the queerness of early English drama. $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2021 $z 9781487538866 $z 9781487538866 $w (OCoLC)1226516144 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012033.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1C8A466478F711ECAF30597D2FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
