This book explores the possibilities and limitations of violence on
the Early Modern stage and in the Early Modern world. This
collection is divided into three sections: History-cal Violence,
(Un)Comic Violence, and Revenge Violence. This division allows
scholars to easily find intertextual materials; comic violence may
function similarly across multiple comedies but is vastly different
from most tragic violence. While the source texts move beyond
Shakespeare, this book follows the classic division of
Shakespeare’s plays into history, comedy, and tragedy. Each
section of the book contains one chapter engaging with modern
dramatic practice along with several that take textual or
historical approaches. This wide-ranging approach means that the
book will be appropriate both for specialists in Early Modern
violence who are looking across multiple perspectives, and for
students or scholars researching texts or approaches.
