Abstract
This study highlights the compulsive sexuality of Housman for his love towards his classmate, Jackson. The moral codes of the era enforced Housman to keep his feelings secret since Victorian society prohibited homosexual affairs. Therefore, Housman was compelled to hide his desires stemming from his desperate love. The Invention of Love turns around the ambition of Housman for his homosexual identity. At the same time, Stoppard’s play is one of the best examples of bio-drama which consists of the words “biography” and “drama”. In this respect, the aim of this study is to reveal how the playwright uncovers Housman’s homosexual tendencies from Foucauldian perspective through bio-drama.
