Summary: The plays of Jacobean dramatist John Webster are masterpieces of early seventeenth-century English theatre. ￯﾿ﾽThe White Devil￯﾿ﾽ depicts a dark, sinister world of duplicity, intrigue and murderous infidelity, while ￯﾿ﾽThe Duchess of Malfi￯﾿ﾽ tells the macabre story of a woman who marries beneath herself and sets in motion a terrible cycle of violence. Unlike these revenge tragedies, ￯﾿ﾽThe Devil￯﾿ﾽs Law-Case￯﾿ﾽ 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, Webster￯﾿ﾽs disturbing plays reflect this abuse of power and are known for their horrific vision of humanity ￯﾿ﾽ yet they are also some of the most rich, sophisticated dramas ever composed.
