This preoccupation with sex and desire often disrupts on page and stage the otherwise heavily regulated worlds of sexuality and desire in Shakespeare's society.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe updated chapters take stock of the ideas and arguments explored in queer Shakespeare scholarship since the first edition in 2017. Five new chapters expand the scope of the book and trace further lines of enquiry: queerness in stage performance, and in the original intersection between textual and trans analysis; queerness and race; queerness and critical disability studies in the narrative poetry, and trans theory of queer Shakespeare. Together with a new introduction,\u003cem\u003e Queer Shakespeare \u003c\/em\u003eexpands the possibilities for teaching both Shakespeare and queer theory in all of its manifestations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvery purchase you make supports the work of Shakespeare's Globe.
