Full Description
This book offers a compelling examination of how violence reverberates through Renaissance drama and early modern society.
This edited collection explores the multifaceted nature of violence in early modern England, revealing how violent acts create ripple effects that extend far beyond their initial occurrence. The book's chapters investigate these echoes and distortions, making historically distant violence more comprehensible to contemporary readers. Rather than limiting its scope to physical bloodshed, the collection adopts a broader definition that encompasses violent language, soundscapes, and systemic oppression. By examining both theatrical representations and historical incidents, the authors illuminate the increasingly blurred boundary between staged and real violence. Through this comprehensive approach, the collection weaves a rich tapestry that captures the complex interconnections between various forms of violence in Renaissance England, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of how violence permeated early modern society and culture.
This wide-ranging exploration will appeal to specialists in early modern violence seeking diverse perspectives, as well as students and scholars researching Renaissance texts, historical violence, or interdisciplinary approaches to early modern studies.
