Books by Revd Prof. John Webster

The Duchess of Malfi is a macabre, tragic play which is often performed and studied at A level and university. This Arden edition brings all the scholarship and comprehensive analysis associated with the series and offers readers a deeper understanding of the play than competing editions.

The continuing debate about John Webster's 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 him the most controversial of all Jacobean dramatists.
