The plays of Jacobean dramatist John Webster are masterpieces of early seventeenth-century English theatre. The White Devil depicts a dark, sinister world of duplicity, intrigue and murderous infidelity, while The Duchess of Malfi tells the macabre story of a woman who marries beneath herself and sets in motion a terrible cycle of violence. Unlike these revenge tragedies, The Devils Law-Case asserts social order in a plot filled with twists of fate. Written at a time when the court of King James was rife with instability and corruption, Websters disturbing plays reflect this abuse of power and are known for their horrific vision of humanity yet they are also some of the most rich, sophisticated dramas ever composed.
