It assesses in more detail than ever before the ways in which heterosexual love relationships in Shakespeare's plays are challenged by homoerotic attraction and same-sex friendships. Joan Lord Hall also explores in depth incestuous currents in the plays: the issue of sexual desire within the family. Referring to every play in the canon as well as to Shakespeare's narrative poems and several sonnets, she explores the dark side of 'will' (rape and sexual coercion) before analysing the playwright's critique of Petrarchan and Neo-Platonic conceptions of love that bypass desire. It also covers his sceptical approach to 'fancy' driven chiefly by visual attraction, presenting a comprehensive, fresh understanding of sexual desire and romantic love in Shakespeare. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 252-265) and index 505 00 $g 8. $t `The buildings of my fancy' : family ties and sexual desire. $g 2. $t Male lust, power and rape -- $g 3. $t Lustful women and male fantasies of female desire -- $g 4. $t Romantic love and sexual desire : the fickleness of fancy, eyes and love's mind -- $g 5. $t The Petrarchan love convention : romance at odds with sexual desire -- $g 6. $t Sex, love and paradigms of marriage -- $g 7. $t Homoerotic desire and same-sex bonding : challenges to heterosexual partnership? -- $g 8. $t `The buildings of my fancy' : family ties and sexual desire. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 0 $a Rape in literature. 650 0 $a Sex in literature. 650 0 $a Love in literature. 650 7 $a Love in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002808 650 7 $a Rape in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01090003 650 7 $a Sex in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114464 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781474488594 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031702.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4092BCD4072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
