About this book

This collection of essays by an international group of prominent scholars explores, for the first time, the implications of presentism for issues of sexual orientation and gender in Shakespeare's texts. It offers crucial insights into our present professional, theoretical, political, and social moment, as well as readings of particular texts.

Reviews

'Presentism, Gender, and Sexuality in Shakespeare is an important new contribution to the developing field of Presentist criticism in Shakespeare studies. With contributions from an impressive array of international Shakespeare scholars, Evelyn Gajowski's anthology addresses the very issues most on the minds of my students in recent years gender roles, cross-dressing, homoerotic subtexts, terrorism, and war. I wish I had had this book available earlier to recommend to my students as a resource for coming to grips with these issues in intelligent, accessible, and thoroughly professional essays.' - Hugh Grady, Arcadia University, USA
