Revenge and Gender in Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance Literature (Hardcover)

Revenge and Gender from Classical to Renaissance Literature' looks at a range of literary and historical texts to provide an understanding of wider historical continuities and discontinuities in representations of revenge and thereby establishing some of the key paradigms for the way that the relationship between revenge and gender has been configured.The collection brings together approaches from literary criticism, gender theory, feminism, drama, philosophy, and ethics to allow greater discussion between these subjects and across historical periods and to provide a more complex and nuanced understanding of the ways in which ideas about gender and revenge interrelate. It demonstrates that revenge acts frequently cross-question the very cultural and literary tropes they seem to reinforce since they disrupt as well as affirm conventional cultural constructions about how gender roles shape displays of passion and ideas of agency.
