In thirteen studies of representations of rape in Medieval and
Early Modern literature by such authors as Chaucer, Shakespeare and
Spenser, this volume argues that some form of sexual violence
against women serves as a foundation of Western culture. The volume
has two purposes: first, to explore the resistance these pervasive
representations generate and have generated for readers -
especially for the female reader- and second, to explore what these
representations tell us about social formations governing the
relationships between men and women. More particularly, Rose and
Robertson are interested in how representations of rape manifest a
given culture's understanding of the female subject in society.
