description Following a groundbreaking study by Coppélia Kahn, scholars have reconstructed legal and social discourses upon which Shakespeare draws in his representation of Lucrece. 6 Her set speeches have proven particularly rewarding objects of discourse analysis, as she refers to the rape variously as theft, invasion, pollution, and corruption of a family line. Situating Lucrece's voice in a judicial context might have been suggested to Shakespeare by the use of the Lucretia legend as subject matter for mock disputation in schools, both ancient and modern. 9 That Lucretia's chastity has been disputed is well known, but that the controversy took a particular academic form in humanist grammar schools is not. 10 Fifteenth- and sixteenth-century humanists, emulating classical forms of rhetoric, practiced and taught a set of written themes that prepared for legal argument.
