N2  - "Shakespeare often uses representation not just a as a lens through which to tell a story, but as a textual tool in itself. In this engaging and accessible guidebook, Stephen Guy Bray uses queer theory to shed new light on this important writing strategy, arguing that in many of Shakespeare's works, representation itself becomes queer. A thorough introduction gives an overview of recent work in queer theory and representation, with each chapter then developing these theories to examine works that span the entire career of Shakespeare, including his Sonnets, Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, King John, Macbeth and Cymbeline. The book will show the extent to which Shakespeare works can be seen to anticipate and even to extend many of the insights of the latest developments in queer theory"--
