Little, Jr., Arthur L. Shakespeare Jungle Fever: National-Imperial Re-Visions of Race, Rape, and Sacrifice. Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2002.
Examines the subject of interracial sex in the works of Shakespeare, attending specifically to narratives of rape. The book is anchored by close readings of Titus Andronicus, Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, and The Rape of Lucrece—as well as surrounding materials—to excavate rhetorical strategies of whiteness and masculinity being deployed in early modern England. It engages conversations in the study of Shakespeare, gender studies, the study of sexuality, and English literature.
