The work argues that playwrights of late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century England recognized and constructed richly diverse tropes of female homoerotic desire. Writers place female characters in erotic situations with other female characters in playful scenarios of mistaken identity, in anxious moments of amorous intrigue, in predatory situations and in enthusiastic, utopian representations of romantic love. These plays indicate an awareness of female homoeroticism in early modern England and belie statements that literary evidence of homosexuality was concerned primarily with men. 410 0$aEarly Modern Cultural Studies 1500-1700,$x2634-5900 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600 606 $aTheater$xHistory 606 $aSex 606 $aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature 606 $aTheatre History 606 $aGender Studies 615 0$aEuropean literature 615 0$aTheater$xHistory. 615 0$aSex. 615 14$aEarly Modern and Renaissance Literature. 615 24$aTheatre History. 615 24$aGender Studies. 676 $a822/.309353 700 $aWalen$b Denise A$01792485 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961592303321 996 $aConstructions of Female Homoeroticism in Early Modern Drama$94331144 997 $aUNINA
