Book Description
The White Devil by John Webster The White Devil, a five-act tragedy by John Webster, performed and published as The White Divel in 1612. Based on historical events that occurred in Italy in the 1880s, this sombre Jacobean drama is considered one of the finest of the period. The White Devil focuses on the love story between the Duke of Brachiano and Vittoria Corombona, two of the many unscrupulous characters in the work. Despite her role as a ferocious heroine, Vittoria elicits sympathy in her attempt to endure a deeply corrupt society. In The White Devil, both evil and good characters are involved in schemes involving political intrigue, adulterous desire and bloody revenge. Though its plot construction is weak, the game is known for its skillful characterizations and effective use of dramatic tension and physical horror.

Book Description
More widely studied and more frequently performed than ever before, John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi is here presented in an accessible and thoroughly up-to-date edition. Based on the Revels Plays text, the notes have been augmented to cast further light both on Webster's amazing dialogue and on the stage action. An entirely new introduction sets the tragedy in the context of pre-Civil War England and gives a revealing view of its imagery and dramatic action. From its well-documented early performances to the two productions seen in the West End of London in the 1995-96 season, a stage history gives an account of the play in performance. Students, actors, directors and theatre-goers will all find here a reappraisal of Webster's artistry in the greatest age of English theatre, which highlights why it has lived on stage with renewed force in the last decades of the twentieth century.
