Shakespeare's Restorations of the FatherDavid Sundelson argues that the development of Shakespeare's career and the plays themselves reveal patterns of concern with and conflict over parental authority, fraternal rivalry, homosexuality, and male and female sex roles. In particular, in his readings of the plays, he shows that the loss or weakness of a father -- figures at once attractive and perversely manipulative -- is central to Shakespeare's work. -- from book jacket. |
