The essays in this collection explore representations of and responses to sexual violence over the course of the long eighteenth century. Depictions of rape appeared regularly in novels, plays, poems and the visual arts at this time, and were used in a variety of – sometimes contradictory – ways. Contributors examine the underlying ideologies that spawned these representations, confronting the social, political, legal and aesthetic conditions of the day.
"'Greenfield is to be congratulated for the ambitious scope of the volume and for drawing together scholars of a variety of different fields.'"
