for anyone interested in the (non)existence of misogyny in shakespeare’s works,

i read a brilliant article recently by Kathryn Schwarz called “Will in Overplus: Recasting Misogyny in Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnets’” and I highly recommend it. I already contended for Shakespeare’s sonnets’ revolutionary gender politics, but this essay drove home the point that Shakespeare was a man of his time (i.e., a very misogynistic time) but he did break down gender constructs using poetry and gave autonomy to his female subjects and that, my friends, is why feminists can love Shakespeare guilt-free.

Shakespeare’s sonnets get a surreal makeover from Robert Wilson and Rufus Wainwright.

Who will beleive my verse in time to come if it were filled with your most high deserts, though yet heav'n knows it is but as a tomb which hides your life, and shows not half your parts? If I could write the beauty of your eyes and in fresh numbers number all your graces, the age to come would say, 'This poet lies. Such heav'nly touches ne'er touched earthly faces' So should my papers, yellowed with their age, Be scorned, like old men of less truth than tongue, and your true rights be termed a poet's rage and stretched metre of an antique song. But were some child of yours alive that time, You should live twice, in it and in my rhyme.
