Explores the representation of revenge from Classical to early
modern literature This collection explores a range of literary and
historical texts from ancient Greece and Rome, medieval Iceland and
medieval and early modern England to provide an understanding of
wider historical continuities and discontinuities in
representations of gender and revenge. It 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. Key features: The coverage, from
classical through to renaissance literature, gives a sense of how
the revenge motifs work over time with gender in mind It will
appeal to a wide readership including those working in classics;
medieval and renaissance literature; gender studies; revenge and
revenge tragedy; the intertextual relations between ancient,
medieval and early modern texts It considers what constitutes the
literary revenge tragedy tradition, suggesting points of continuity
and difference as well as rethinking the parameters of the genre
Contributors include Edith Hall, Alison Findlay and Janet Clare
