Shakespeare, Revenge Tragedy and Early Modern Law: Vindictive Justice de Derek Dunne

Shakespeare, Revenge Tragedy and Early Modern Law: Vindictive Justice: Early Modern Literature in History

Autor Derek Dunne
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 feb 2016
This book, the first to trace revenge tragedy's evolving dialogue with early modern law, draws on changing laws of evidence, food riots, piracy, and debates over royal prerogative. By taking the genre's legal potential seriously, it opens up the radical critique embedded in the revenge tragedies of Kyd, Shakespeare, Marston, Chettle and Middleton.

Recenzii

“This monograph offers a striking perspective on revenge tragedy by placing the genre within the combined field of law and literature. … The monograph is an invaluable resource for scholars of early modern theatre as well as legal and social historians.” (Jessica Apolloni, Early Theatre, Vol. 21 (1), 2018)

“The book’s narrow focus excludes plays relevant to questions about justice that would illuminate both Dunne’s general argument and the largely unquestioned definition of revenge tragedy that the book depends on. Dunne’s book opens up questions about the theater’s engagement with the law that extend well beyond the confines of revenge tragedy.” (Edward Gieskes, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol.70 (3), 2017)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Revenge tragedies are filled with trial scenes, miscarriages of justice and untrustworthy evidence, yet this is the first study to explore how the revenge plays of Kyd, Shakespeare and others critically engage with their legal system. Featuring groups of citizens taking the law into their own hands, revenge tragedies stage a participatory justice of their own, which problematises the progress of English common law during this crucial phase of English legal history.

By connecting English revenge tragedies to major crises within the legal system – including the erosion of trial by jury (Titus Andronicus), food riots in the 1590s (Antonio's Revenge), and debates over royal prerogative (The Revenger's Tragedy) – a persistent legal critique is revealed to be at work. The book also offers a major new reading of Hamlet that argues against the play's engagement with law, in contrast to the radical socio-legal commentary identified in other revenge plays. Revenge tragedy can thus be understood as an index of early modern citizens' fractious relationship with their law.
