Publication Information:
	Philological Quarterly 92, no.  4 (2013): 449–69.
Annotation:
	Argues that "Shakespeare's Rape of Lucrece defers from complicity with Tarquin's brutality and the political response it incites by resisting destiny and contesting the medium of preservation." Identifies poem as "unique model of authorial agency, one unseen although emblematized in Orpheus." Examines how Lucrece's title, Dedication, Argument, and narrative poem illustrates "estranged power of cancellation."
