- Double-weighted statement
- Shakespeare, Love and Language is the product of six years' research, and is the first monograph to combine historical, philosophical and textual readings of the manifold representations of love and desire in Shakespeare's canon. Its 90,000 words encompasses the erotic in Plato, Medieval and early modern tracts, and modern continental and analytical philosophers. It offers a fresh, philosophically sophisticated account of love in Shakespeare that connects it in essential ways to his use of language in his plays and sonnets, and provides a rigorous alternative to more 'common-sense', popular treatments of sex in Shakespeare.
