Sinopsis

Looking at sex in Shakespeare’s time and works reveals a similar world stuck between two truths: the first that sex was always a many-splendoured, or at least multifaceted, thing; and the second that despite the crushing weight of legal, cultural, and religious dictates, in trying to police sex, Elizabethans wound up having a fairly free discourse on the subject. Unfortunately for modern readers, that discourse is still much more obscure than our modern, ultra-liberal discussion of everything from kinks to polyamory; such talk, while still there in Elizabethan works, is far more layered and lacks a lot of the diction we take for granted...
