The sexuality of William Shakespeare has been the subject of recurring debate. It is known from public records that he married Anne Hathaway and had three children with her; scholars have analysed their relationship through these documents, and particularly through the bequests to her in his will. Some historians have speculated Shakespeare had affairs with other women, based on contemporaries' written anecdotes of such affairs and sometimes on the "Dark Lady" figure in his sonnets. Some scholars have argued he was bisexual, based on analysis of the sonnets; many, including Sonnet 18, are love poems addressed to a man (the "Fair Youth"), and contain puns relating to homosexuality.

  • La question de la sexualité de William Shakespeare a souvent été soulevée par le contenu des œuvres qui lui sont attribuées. Son éventuelle bisexualité a scandalisé à une certaine époque la critique internationale, en égard à son statut d’icône universelle.. (fr)
  • シェイクスピアの性的指向論争 (英語: Sexuality of William Shakespeare) は、イギリスの劇作家ウィリアム・シェイクスピアの性的指向に関する論争である。 (ja)
  • A sexualidade de William Shakespeare foi questionada várias vezes ao longo das décadas e ainda causa polêmica. Embora o dramaturgo tenha tido um casamento com Anne Hathaway e tivesse três filhos, provas circunstanciais (presentes em suas peças e especialmente em sonetos shakespearianos) sugerem que ele mantinha relações com outras mulheres e que até pode ter se envolvido num interesse erótico por homens. A hipótese de existirem amantes de Shakespeare do sexo feminino e também a possibilidade de ele ter tido relações homossexuais em sua vida têm sido historicamente uma questão criticada e controversa, por causa de seu valor na arte. De qualquer forma, não há provas mais confiáveis a respeito dessa questão; no entanto, há passagens nas obras de Shakespeare e em documentos que merecem ser analisadas. (pt)
