Title: The dramatic use of bawdy in Shakespeare
Description: Although Shakespeare made use of lewd, scurrilious, licentious and salacious dialogue and allusion in a variety of ways, he was, for his time, unusually discriminating and deliberate in his use of indecent material. The myth of the Bawdy Bard, as a rollicking back-slapper and rib-nudger, is here exploded once and for all. -- from book jacket.
