Reviews

Ariane Balizet cogently argues that blood on the early modern stage makes public the domestic rites and habits of private life and that in so doing, it estranges viewers, often violently, from everyday experience and, most importantly, from early modern hierarchies of gender and power. - Sujata Iyengar, Professor of English, University of Georgia, USA, and author of Shakespeare's Medical Language (2011)
