PART I: LOVE'S WOUND: VIOLENCE, TRAUMA, AND OVIDIAN TRANSFORMATION IN SHAKESPEARE'S ROMAN POEMS AND PLAYS -- 1. The Origin of Love: Ovidian Lovesickness and Trauma in Shakespeare's "Venus and Adonis" -- 2. Shakespeare's Perverse Astraea, Martyr'd Philomel, and Lamenting Hecuba: Ovid, Sadomasochism, and Trauma in Shakespeare's "Titus Andronicus" -- 3. Dido and Aeneas 'Metamorphis'd': Ovid, Marlowe, and the Masochistic Scenario in Shakespeare's "Antony and Cleopatra" -- PART II: TRANSFORMING BODIES: TRAUMA, "VIRTUS", AND THE LIMITS OF NEO-STOICISM IN SHAKESPEARE'S ROMAN POEMS AND PLAYS -- 4.'A wretched image bound': Neo-Stoicism, Trauma, and the Dangers of the Bounded Self in Shakespeare's "The Rape of Lucrece" -- 5.Bleeding Martyrs: The Body of the Tyrant/Saint, the Limits of 'Constancy,' and the Extremity of the Passions in Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" -- 6.'One whole wound': "Virtus", Vulnerability, and the Emblazoned Male Body in Shakespeare's "Coriolanus" -- Coda: Philomela's Song: Transformations of Ovid, Trauma, and Masochism in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Cymbeline".

Ovid's tale of sexual violence and trauma -- Philomela is pivotal throughout Shakespeare's works, along with other myths dealing with savage brutality and erotic desire. This book argues that Shakespeare appropriates Ovid's poetry to explore violence, trauma, and "virtus" in his Roman poems and plays. Following a discussion of Renaissance Ovidianism, Lisa Starks-Estes defines 'trauma' and traces its history in psychoanalysis, trauma theory, and Renaissance studies. She relates trauma to early modern notions of melancholy and lovesickness, showing its connections to sadomasochism, psychoanalytic theory, and literary tradition in chapters on "Venus and Adonis", "Titus Andronicus", "Antony and Cleopatra". She then discusses cultural trauma resulting from shifting notions of selfhood, the female body, and masculinity in "The Rape of Lucrece", "Julius Caesar", and "Coriolanus". She concludes with a coda 'Philomela's Song' that explores Ovid's poetry, trauma, and masochism in two 'bookmark' plays of Shakespeare's Ovidian career: "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "Cymbeline".
