Beginning with how the signifier will operates in Shakespearean contexts, this book, unlike other studies, deals fully with how Shakespeares plays treat the issue of rape and sexual coercion, and how far the plays reflect early modern views on the role of sex and love in marriage. It assesses in more detail than ever before the ways in which heterosexual love relationships in Shakespeares 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 Shakespeares narrative poems and several sonnets, she explores the dark side of will (rape and sexual coercion) before analysing the playwrights 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.
