In \u003cem\u003eAgainst Reproduction\u003c\/em\u003e, Stephen Guy-Bray sets out to systematically interrogate this common trope, and to consider the limits of using heterosexual reproduction to think of textual creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough an analysis of Renaissance texts by poets and playwrights including William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and John Milton, Guy-Bray argues that the reproductive metaphor was only one of the ways in which writers presented their own literary production. Their uses of sexual language reveal that these authors were surprisingly ambivalent about their own writing. Guy-Bray suggests that they often presented their work in such a way as to feminize themselves and to associate the writing process with shame and abjection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOffering fresh perspectives on well-known texts, \u003cem\u003eAgainst Reproduction\u003c\/em\u003e is an accessible and compelling book that will affect the study of both Renaissance literature and queer theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStephen Guy-Bray\u003c\/b\u003e is a professor in the Department of English at the University of British Columbia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.54 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 27, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52703823036723,"sku":"9781487554248","price":66.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/wwNahZvSvA9781487554248.webp?v=1763341034","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/against-reproduction-where-renaissance-texts-come-from-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
