Writing Rape, Writing Women in Early Modern

This comprehensive study of rape and representation, now available in paperback, considers a wide range of texts drawn from prose fiction, poetry and drama by male and female writers, both canonical and non-canonical, demonstrating how the representation of gender relations has exploited the subject of rape.
