New in paperback. Hardcover was published in 2023. Drawing on both historical analysis and theories from the modern affective sciences, this book argues that the experience of revulsion is one of Shakespeare's central dramatic concerns. Designed to offer both focused readings and birds-eye coverage, this volume alternates between chapters devoted to the sustained analysis of revulsion in specific plays (Titus Andronicus, Timon of Athens, Coriolanus, Othello and Hamlet) and chapters presenting a general overview of Shakespeare's engagement with certain kinds of prototypical disgust elicitors, including food, disease, bodily violation, race and sex disgust.
