Lovesick

Description

"Lovesick brings together an international collection of plays, from Britain, the US, Germany, France and Russia, depicting types of "homosexual" or same-sex love." "Most of these six fin-de-siecle plays are either previously unpublished in English or at all. Each comes enhanced with an editorial introduction and contextual documentation, including contemporary reviews, case histories and illustrations." "Making available a legacy of homosexual dramas of the past, Lovesick is a must-have volume for researchers and students of theatre history and lesbian and gay studies. It will also be of compelling interest to those within comparative literature, cultural studies, and sexology, as well as actors, directors and theatre-lovers."--BOOK JACKET.
