Description

This new volume delves into the dark and ambiguous world of seventeenth-century revenge tragedies, featuring four seminal plays from the reigns of James I and Charles I. John Webster’s “The Duchess of Malfi” and “The White Devil” unravel the complexities of power, sex, and corruption within the Italian court, while John Ford’s “The Broken Heart” examines the consequences of emotional repression in ancient Greece. Ford’s “Tis Pity She’s a Whore” boldly reimagines “Romeo and Juliet,” exploring the taboo themes of incest and forbidden love.
