As the #MeToo movement extends its legal, social, and political reach around the world, the topic of consent has come under particular scrutiny. \u003ci\u003eShakespeare on Consent\u003c\/i\u003e examines crises of consent on the early modern stage and argues that these dramatizations provide a framework for understanding the intersections of coercion, complicity, resistance, and agency. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the premise that consent serves as a lever of entitlement, Amanda Bailey introduces a Shakespeare well aware that liberal selfhood has never been universally available. Bailey brings Shakespeare's work into conversation with the Penn State Sandusky scandal, the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky affair, the rise of \"somnophilia,\" Jordan Peele's documentary on Lorena Bobbitt, Larry David's \u003ci\u003eCurb Your Enthusiasm\u003c\/i\u003e, and Harvey Weinstein's \u003ci\u003eShakespeare in Love\u003c\/i\u003e, amongst others.
