Abstract
Bu çalışma, Housman'ın sınıf arkadaşı olan Jackson'a duyduğu derin aşkından dolayı takıntılı hale gelen çarpık cinsellik dürtülerini yansıtmaktadır. Viktorya Dönemin ahlak ve toplumsal kuralları eşcinsel ilişkileri yasakladığı için, Housman duygularını bütün koşullar altında gizli tutmak zorunda kalmıştır. Bu nedenden dolayı Housman, hem cinsi olan Jackson’a karşı duymuş olduğu derin aşktan kaynaklanan arzularını gizleyerek toplum koşullarına ayak uydurmaya çalışmaktadır. Aşkın İcadı adlı bu oyun, Housman'ın eşcinsel kimliğine yönelik tutkusunun etrafında dönmektedir. Stoppard’ın bu oyunu aynı zamanda, biyografi ve drama kelimelerinden oluşan bio-dramanın en güzel örneklerinden biridir. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, yazarın Housman'ın eşcinsel eğilimlerini Foucault’un bakış açısıyla birlikte bio-drama aracılığıyla nasıl ortaya çıkardığını göstermektir.

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.
