John Webster's "Romeo and Juliet"
A violent psychosexual play The title character is a widow with two brothers: Ferdinand and the Cardinal. In the play's opening act, the brothers try to persuade their sister not to seek a new husband. Her resistance to their wishes sets in motion a chain of secrecy, plotting, and violence. The relationship between Ferdinand and the Duchess is probably one of the most unsettling brother-sister relationships in literature. The play is full of both onstage killings and great lines. The title character is one of stage history's intriguing female characters; she is a woman whose desires lead her to defy familial pressure. Another fascinating and complex character is Bosola, who early in the play is enlisted to act as a spy. Overall, a compelling and well-written tragedy.
Necessary background for Agatha Christie & Dorothy L. Sayers I bought this after reading snippets of it in other books.I do not recall having to learn this in school.Only now do I intend to read "The White Devil" in anticipation of it being encountered in other works. Well what do you know?This animal is based on a true story of the Duchess of Amalfi.Evidentially there were several books written on this and he picked one for the outline of the play. This edition is almost as good as taking a class in its self.The introduction gives you a back ground and the basic story that the play was based on.You get some information on John Webster and some of his other plays.There is even a further Reading List.There are even notes on the text and how to read the notes for the different versions of the play its self.By the time you get to the play you are well prepared to read it. The play its self has stanzas, line numbers and notes to help you through the difficulty of understanding what the words mean in context.It is almost like reading a bible.You soon pickup speed and then actually get intrigued in the writing and story. Now I desperately want some local theater to present "The duchess of Malfi"
A superb play

Editorial Review Book Description In Cyril TourneurÂs The RevengerÂs Tragedy, the debauched son of an Italian Duke attempts to rape the virtuous GlorianaÂa veiled reference to Elizabeth I. John WebsterÂs The White Devil depicts a sinister world of intrigue and murderous infidelity, while The Changeling, perhaps Thomas MiddletonÂs supreme achievement, powerfully portrays a woman bringing about her own unwitting destruction. All three are masterpieces of brooding intensity, dominated by images of decay, disillusionment, and death. Customer Reviews (1)
