In this study the author argues that plays as diverse as A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Merchant of Venice, and Measure for Measure belong to the schizoid politics of Britain as an emerging nation-state. Drawing on Deleuze and Guattari, Foucault, Freud, Lacan, and Bakhtin, it situates the comedies and their production of pleasure historically.
