Why read it?
1 author picked Straight Acting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Will Tosh's exploration of the queer themes in Shakespeare's and his contemporaries' work brought me back to the world of Shakspeare, (whom I love), with fresh eyes. I loved every word of this book. It combines rich biographical detail with creative conjuring of Elizabethan London, and brilliant analysis into the words and themes of Shakespeare. I particularly loved learning about the life and work of Richard Barnfield.
