Description

Explore the hidden layers of early modern theatre with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. Queer Virgins and Virgin Queans examines the stage through a unique lens of obscure and obscene puns. The text focuses on queer puns that carry homoerotic resonances and express homoerotic desires within historical performances. This study brings attention to the first Whitefriars, a small boys' company that performed for approximately nine months during 1607-8. By analyzing the plays of this specific group, the book identifies a dense array of bawdy puns. These linguistic elements reveal an eroticism centered on the male body, offering a new perspective on the laughter and social dynamics of the era. It is an essential resource for those studying theatre history, linguistic puns, and early modern performance.
