While tightly focused on the enjoyably gruesome imagery of blood as it appears in Renaissance texts, Weindling's study encompasses significantly larger cultural, political, and philosophical discussions, offering valuable insight into both the period and its literature. Weindling's fascinating international scope presents major English dramatists in a wider European context, offering fresh perspectives, and making significant contribution to the medical humanities field. A wonderfully rich, generous, and stimulating study, gaining real interpretive rewards from its gory focus. --Eric Langley, author of Shakespeare's Contagious Sympathies
