Episode Notes

We're here and we're getting ShakesQUEER. This week we're speaking with the notorious SGB, otherwise known as Professor Stephen Guy-Bray. Stephen is currently Professor of English Literature at the University of British Columbia where he is a specialist in Renaissance poetry, queer studies, and poetic insemination. In this episode we discuss whether Shakespeare was a top or a bottom, find out which play is the gayest play ever, and we figure out what the relationship is between sonnet sequences and incel culture. Stephen also bestows upon us wisdom about poetry cakes, the signature scent of a monograph, and what literary tattoos we should get.

Stephen's most recent book, 'Shakespeare and Queer Representation' was published in 2020 and he's already gone and finished ANOTHER monograph on Line Endings in Renaissance poetry (out in May 2022). To find out more about Stephen's research into hot man-on-man action you can follow him @SGUYBRAY.
