Reviews
Hall understands love both within and beyond sexuality and understands verbal and dramatic form as constitutive of both.This is that rare book on Shakespeare that teachers can usefully deploy in the classroom.Highly recommended., [ Sexual Desire and Romantic Love in Shakespeare ] has a number of strengths, including the immense depth and scope with which it analyzes Shakespeare's language of love and lust. It is written in a straightforward style and is free of jargon, making it approachable and accessible for non-experts and students., Joan Lord Hall opens a kaleidoscope in this riveting book, which combines sharp historical focus with a vista onto the endlessly moveable erotic possibilities in the poems and plays. This is a true labour of love, the distillation of a lifetime thinking through Shakespeare in his time and our own.

Synopsis
Beginning with how the signifier 'will' operates in Shakespearean contexts, this book, unlike other studies, deals fully with how Shakespeare's plays treat the issue of rape and sexual coercion, and how far the plays reflect early modern views on the role of sex and love in marriage. It assesses in more detail than ever before the ways in which heterosexual love relationships in Shakespeare's plays are challenged by homoerotic attraction and same-sex friendships. Joan Lord Hall also explores in depth incestuous currents in the plays: the issue of sexual desire within the family. Referring to every play in the canon as well as to Shakespeare's narrative poems and several sonnets, she explores the dark side of 'will' (rape and sexual coercion) before analysing the playwright's critique of Petrarchan and Neo-Platonic conceptions of love that bypass desire. It also covers his sceptical approach to 'fancy' driven chiefly by visual attraction, presenting a comprehensive, fresh understanding of sexual desire and romantic love in Shakespeare., Analyses how far Shakespeare succeeds in reconciling two polarised areas in the early modern period: sexual desire, or will, and idealised approaches to romantic love.
