"In this volume, the author argues that blood was, crucially, a means by which dramatists
negotiated shifting contours of domesticity in 16th and 17th century England. Early
modern English drama vividly addressed contemporary debates over an expanding idea
of "the domestic," which encompassed the domus as well as sex, parenthood, household
order, the relationship between home and state, and the connections between family
honor and national identity. The author contends that the domestic ideology expressed
by theatrical depictions of marriage and household order is one built on the simultaneous
familiarity and violence inherent to blood. The theatrical relation between blood
and home is far more intricate than the idealized language of the familial bloodline;
the home was itself a bloody place, with domestic bloodstains signifying a range of
experiences including religious worship, sex, murder, birth, healing, and holy justice.
Focusing on four bleeding figure -- the Bleeding Bride, Bleeding Husband, Bleeding
Child, and Bleeding Patient -- the author argues that the household blood of the early
modern stage not only expressed the violence and conflict occasioned by domestic ideology,
but also established the home as a site that alternately reified and challenged patriarchal
authority"
