Why was revenge drama so popular in Shakespeare's time, and why did supposedly forgiving Christian audiences relish such bloodthirsty, vengeful plays? This book addresses these questions, exploring black comedy and sensationalism, what it means that revengers use economic terms like 'pay', and revengers as political revolutionaries and egalitarians.
