Author Description

Postmodern Essays on Love, Sex, and Marriage in Shakespeare is a collection of essays contributed by scholars of eminence from different countries. Focused on the related themes of love, sex, and marriage, the essays offer a variety of interpretations from viewpoints as varied as cultural materialism and new historicism, queer theory and feminism, teaching pedagogy and intertextuality. Apart from a close reading of Shakespeare's plays, the essays included in this volume attempt to show the density of dramatic idiom and subtlety of the writer's thought. Demonstrating new ways of looking at the ever-revealing texts of Shakespeare's dramas, the critics included in this collection indicate new directions.
