This study considers parallel issues in revenge tragedies of the
early seventeenth-century and violent cinema of the last thirty
years. It offers a series of provocative explorations of death,
revenge and justice, and gender and violence. What happens when we
connect The White Devil with Basic Instinct ? The Changeling or
Titus Andronicus with Straw Dogs ? Doctor Faustus with Se7en ? Taxi
Driver with The Spanish Tragedy ? Appealing to those with an
interest in either drama or film, written in an engaging style, the
book also reconsiders the high /popular culture divide, and
reflects on the enduring significance of the revenge motif in
Western culture over the past four hundred years, particularly in
the post 9/11 context.
