Violence Against Women in Early Modern Performance

Focusing on iconic English theatre texts like Titus Andronicus and The Changeling, this book explores the historical erasure of rape and violence against women in early modern times. It delves into the political and ethical implications of representing these themes in contemporary performances, highlighting the ongoing relevance of these issues in the 20th and 21st centuries. The new Preface in the paperback edition further enriches the discussion, making it a critical examination of gender and violence in theatre history.
