Examining some of the most iconic texts in English theatre history, including Titus Andronicus and The Changeling, this book, now in paperback with a new Preface, reveals the pernicious erasure of rape and violence against women in the early modern era and the politics and ethics of rehearsing these negotiations on the 20th and 21st century stages.

KIM SOLGA is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Drama at Queen Mary, University of London, UK. With D.J. Hopkins and Shelley Orr she is the editor of Performance and the City, also from Palgrave Macmillan.
