Shakespeare and Queer Representation

'Building on a rich body of recent criticism that finds in Shakespeare's oeuvre not only a passive object ripe for queer analysis but also an active model of queer theory itself, Stephen Guy-Bray's insightful Shakespeare and Queer Representation argues that artistic representation plays a disorienting, queer role in Shakespearean theater and poetry, exceeding its task of depicting some external or "natural" object in service of narrative progression.'
