This study of the figures of cannibalism in the English theater of the Renaissance delves into the questions of the same and the other, the human and the inhuman, in the context of the Age of Discovery. As horizons broadened, Europeans’ food-related fears and fantasies about “the Cannibal” of the New World intensified.
