The Complete Works of John Webster
Author: John WebsterThe Nation
Author: The Art of John Webster
Author: Ralph BerryPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317311280
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
The Art of John Webster, first published in 1972, is a study of the three extant plays of Webster known to be solely his work. These plays are seen as attempts to achieve in literature the effects of the baroque, a term which related Webster to the larger developments of European art. Their content is analysed in terms of a consistent opposition between evil and the law. The book seeks to re-establish a base for the claims that must be made for Webster as a serious artist. This title will be of interest to students of literature and drama.
