This book explores the relationship between Shakespeare's most famous tragedies and the genre of 'domestic tragedy': plays about murder and adultery in ordinary households. In tracing representations of violent homes in early modern culture, Emma Whipday proposes a new way of reading Hamlet, Othello, and Macbeth.
