Sexual types and intermediary functions. 330 $aSexual types on the early modern stage are at once strange and familiar, associated with a range of "unnatural" or "monstrous" sexual and gender practices, yet familiar because readily identifiable as types: recognizable figures of literary imagination and social fantasy. From the many found in early modern culture, Mario DiGangi here focuses on six types that reveal in particularly compelling ways, both individually and collectively, how sexual transgressions were understood to intersect with social, gender, economic, and political transgressions.Building on feminist and queer scholarship, Sexual Types demonstrates how the sodomite, the tribade (a woman-loving woman), the narcissistic courtier, the citizen wife, the bawd, and the court favorite function as sites of ideological contradiction in dramatic texts. On the one hand, these sexual types are vilified and disciplined for violating social and sexual norms; on the other hand, they can take the form of dynamic, resourceful characters who expose the limitations of the categories that attempt to define and contain them. In bringing sexuality and character studies into conjunction with one another, Sexual Types provides illuminating new readings of familiar plays, such as Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Winter's Tale, and of lesser-known plays by Fletcher, Middleton, and Shirley. 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSex in literature 606 $aCharacters and characteristics in literature 606 $aTypology (Psychology) in literature 606 $aStereotypes (Social psychology) in literature 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aLC. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMedieval and Renaissance Studies. 610 $aWomen's Studies. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSex in literature. 615 0$aCharacters and characteristics in literature. 615 0$aTypology (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aStereotypes (Social psychology) in literature. 676 $a822/.309353 700 $aDiGangi$b Mario$01467641 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788584403321 996 $aSexual types$93678375 997 $aUNINA
