Introducing Straight Acting, a groundbreaking exploration of William Shakespeare's queerness and the profound impact of queer culture on his work. This brand-new trade paperback, released in 2024 by Hodder & Stoughton, delves into the intriguing question of whether Shakespeare was gay. The answer unfolds within the pages of this compelling read, blending incisive cultural analysis with captivating storytelling.Renowned authors such as SARAH WATERS of Fingersmith acclaim the book as 'engrossing, enlightening, and hugely entertaining,' while KATHERINE RUNDELL, author of Super-Infinite, describes it as 'brilliant - so vivid and so sharp, fantastically clever and consistently fascinating.'
This enlightening work reveals how Shakespeare's artistry was shaped by the rich tapestry of queer lives during his time. From the influence of Latin and Greek homoeroticism to the lively gender-bending early comedies, Straight Acting offers a fresh perspective on Shakespeare's sonnets and his own personal struggles with identity. Readers will journey back to Shakespeare's England, a world where same-sex desire was both suppressed and celebrated, as the book calls for a reevaluation of Shakespeare's narrative – challenging the need to confine him to a 'straight' acting role.
Emma Smith, author of This Is Shakespeare, describes the book as 'magisterial and saucy,' stating that this fresh account revitalizes the queer canon of English literature, ensuring Shakespeare enters the literary discourse authentically. Perfect for scholars, LGBTQ+ advocates, and literature enthusiasts alike, Straight Acting is essential reading that redefines the legacy of one of history’s greatest playwrights.

Beautiful and Well Made
Color: Royal Blue, Size: Small
Remarkable and well made top. It fits perfectly, is super soft and of substantial fabric. The color (royal blue) is vibrant and looks like the picture. It is made and feels like a much more expensive top you would find in an upscale shop. It wears well and you are never hot, just wonderful.

Best white tshirt ever! Will have to buy more
Color: White, Size: Medium
Top is great, better than the expensive designer top I bought. Fabric is so very soft, not super thin and just the right size. I bought a med and it fit perfectly, just right under a jacket or separate. It’s pure white with some stretch if you want a. Lose fit.

Unbelievable shirt for the money!
Color: White, Size: Small
Soft and cozy yet sharp and finished. Would definitely highly recommend. Went back and bought two more. Comes out of the dryer without a wrinkle. The color on the brown is rich and looks good dressed up or down. Definitely a great T-shirt at a fantastic price.

Love these and perfect for European Spring
Color: White, Size: Medium
Very nice for travel. They rolled up perfectly and fit easily into my compression bags. Best of all, they didn’t wrinkle after a 14-hour flight. The material is soft and heavy enough for spring weather in Porto. I wore both colors there in April.
I got a spot on the brown one, and it came right out. It also dried quickly without leaving a water stain. I probably wouldn’t wear them in Georgia during the summer.
The white is more of a cream color, and the brown is a beautiful chocolate brown. The sizing was accurate. I’m 5’6” and 150 lbs, and the medium fits loosely without looking baggy. It also works well worn untucked over pants. I would definitely purchase again.

Great for the price but not perfect
Color: Light Green, Size: Large, Color: Light Green, Size: Large
I have this shirt in two colors. Can’t beat the price! The shirt is a good thickness (the white is NOT see-thru) and fit well. It holds its shape when washed. Looks great with a cardigan or blazer, and it’s very comfy. Not too tight, not too baggy.
I took off one star because it pills badly (see pic - this was after wearing only twice). My fabric shaver took care of it easily, thankfully. It’s also hot. The polyester doesn’t breathe.
But again, for the price - great option for layering on a less hot day. For sizing, I’m 5’6, about 185, and a 38C bra. The Large fit me perfectly.
