Straight Acting: the Hidden Queer Lives of William Shakespeare by Will Tosh

Will Tosh’s latest book explores how the queer culture of 1500s England influenced the classic plays we know and love. Will’s work is vivid and entertaining, and it’ll make you rethink every Shakespeare play you’ve seen.

Q's about the book club?

To join Queer History 101, simply subscribe on our website. The cost is $24.50/month + shipping for the physical book and perks delivered to your doorstep. Perks include a complimentary Allstora membership, exclusive interviews, themed playlists, and limited-edition collectibles, with more exciting things to come!

Yes! However, if you’d like to continue getting 30% off all books on our site, you’ll have to sign up for an Allstora membership separately.

For book club subscriptions, you will be billed on a monthly basis on the 15th of each month, regardless of the date you first subscribe.

We will announce each month’s selection on the 15th of the prior month. If you're not interested in a particular month's book selection, you have the option to skip that month's shipment and receive a gift card for the equivalent amount. If you'd like to opt for the gift card, you have until the 17th to let us know.

When you sign up for a Book Club subscription, our system will automatically cancel your membership, so you aren’t paying double! Membership is a complimentary perk of any Book Club subscription.

Back when we were ShopQueer.co, Queer History 101 was our original book club subscription! We're so excited to be relaunching this club with extra perks for our Allstora family.
