Alan Sinfield examines cultural materialism both as a body of ongoing argument and as it informs particular works by Shakespeare and his contemporaries, especially in relation to sexuality in early-modern England and queer theory.The book has several interlocking preoccupations: theories of textuality and reading the political location of Shakespearean plays and the organisation of literary culture today the operation of state power in the early-modern period and the scope for dissidence the sex\/gender system in that period and the application of queer theory in history.These preoccupations are explored in and around a range of works by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. Throughout the book Sinfield re-presents cultural materialism, framing it not as a set of propositions, as has often been done, but as a cluster of unresolved problems. His brilliant, lucid and committed readings demonstrate that the unfinished business of cultural materialism - and Sinfields work in particular - will long continue to produce new questions and challenges for the fields of Shakespeare and Renaissance Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51938122006816,"sku":"NEW0415402352","price":268.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61bD9AFrz5L.jpg?v=1783114810","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/shakespeare-authority-sexuality-accents-on-shakespeare-0415402352","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
