Vengeance permeates English Renaissance drama - for example, it crops up in all but two of Shakespeare's plays. This book explores why a supposedly forgiving Christian culture should have relished such bloodthirsty, vengeful plays. A clue lies in the plays' passion for fairness, a preoccupation suggesting widespread resentment of systemic unfairness - legal, economic, political and social. Revengers' precise equivalents - the father of two beheaded sons obliges his enemy to eat her two sons' heads - are vigilante versions of Elizabethan law, where penalties suit the crimes: thieves' hands were cut off, scolds' tongues bridled. The revengers' language of 'paying' hints at the operation of revenge in the service of economic redress. Revenge makes contact with resistance theory, justifying overthrow of tyrants, and some revengers challenge the fundamental inequity of social class. Woodbridge demonstrates how, for all their sensationalism, their macabre comedy and outlandish gore, Renaissance revenge plays do some serious cultural work.

What if our current interpretation of ego was completely and utterly wrong? Wilder yet, what if the basic premise of Christianity, the notion of original sin was all a huge misunderstanding? When Margaret Gabriel, a psychic and author, goes on an extended stay in her beloved Venice to promote her book, Thank God for Red Shoes, her life is literally transformed. As she embarks on a voyage of self-discovery, from top to toe in Italy, little does Margaret know that the additional installments which she is about to channel will provide astounding revelations that have the potential to change of the paradigm of how we see the world. Innamorata dellItalia, totally in love with the culture and especially the language of Italy, Margaret revels in the generosity of spirit of the Italian people; in two incredibly beautiful men; in the art and food of remarkable cities; and, at the ripe old age of sixty, in her own renewed sensuality and personal power. A book within a book, a love affair within a love affair, and a practical crash course on how to access both happiness and empowerment, Rapture is a tour de force.
