Series Statement:
	(Spotlight on Shakespeare.)
Annotation:
	Considers how to read Shakespeare in a post #MeToo world, contending that "the idea of consent as a universal prerogative and neutral instrument is a lie." Links readings of Shakespeare's works with twentieth- and twenty-first century events. Focuses on Rape of Lucrece and sexual violence; incapacity in Midsummer Night's Dream; sex and love in Romeo and Juliet and John Madden's Shakespeare in Love, produced by Harvey Weinstein (q.v.); and Hamlet's depiction of "procrastination as politics."
