Shakespeare, Violence and Early Modern Europe broadens our
understanding of the final years of the last Tudor monarch,
revealing the truly international context in which they must be
understood. Uncovering the extent to which Shakespeare's dramatic
art intersected with European politics, Andrew Hiscock brings
together close readings of the history plays, compelling insights
into late Elizabethan political culture and renewed attention to
neglected continental accounts of Elizabeth I. With fresh
perspective, the book charts the profound influence that
Shakespeare and ambitious courtiers had upon succeeding generations
of European writers, dramatists and audiences following the turn of
the sixteenth century. Informed by early modern and contemporary
cultural debate, this book demonstrates how the study of early
modern violence can illuminate ongoing crises of interpretation
concerning brutality, victimization and complicity today.
