Stratford-Upon-Avon Literary Festival: Straight Acting: The Many Queer Lives of Shakespeare with William Tosh
Shakespeares work was profoundly influenced by the queer culture of his time - much of it totally integrated into mainstream society. From a relentless schooling in Latin and Greek homoeroticism, to a less formal education on the streets and in smoky taverns, from the gender-bending of the early comedies to the astonishingly queer literary scene that nurtured Shakespeares sonnets, the Head of Research at Shakespeares Globe tells a story of artistic development and of personal crisis, and how queerness powerfully shaped the life and career of the worlds most famous playwright. Talking to Professor Emma Smith
