The Selected Plays of John Webster
Author: Jonathan Dollimore
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521249270
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
The plays of John Webster are read and seen more widely today than at any time since they were written - provoking much disagreement in the process. The continuing debate about his political, religious and philosophical attitudes, his formal skills and the importance of his plays for understanding the changing culture in which they were written, make Webster the most controversial of all Jacobean dramatists. This volume includes freshly collated, fully annotated and cross-referenced texts of his three best-known plays, together with introductions and a useful critical bibliography.

The Art of John Webster
Author: Ralph Berry
Publisher: 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.
