-- Examines Queen Elizabeth's political power through her manipulation of sexuality
This study fills a gap in British history by exploring sexual behavior in the Elizabethan age through the literature and literary personalities of the period, including Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Donne. Beginning with a look at the position and allure of the 'virgin Queen", "Untam'd Desire" reveals that her court "seethed with clandestine sexual activity". A discussion of brothels, bawdy behavior in the playhouses, love and marriage, homosexuality, and transvestism rounds out this approach to a previously untouchable topic.
