Description Wiki
The Duchess of Malfi (originally published as The Tragedy of the Dutchesse of Malfy) is a Jacobean revenge tragedy written by English dramatist John Webster in 1612 1613.[1] It was first performed privately at the Blackfriars Theatre, then later to a larger audience at The Globe, in 1613 1614.[2] Published in 1623, the play is loosely based on events that occurred between 1508 and 1513 surrounding Giovanna dAragona, Duchess of Amalfi (d. 1511), whose father, Enrico dAragona, Marquis of Gerace, was an illegitimate son of Ferdinand I of Naples. As in the play, she secretly married Antonio Beccadelli di Bologna after the death of her first husband Alfonso I Piccolomini, Duke of Amalfi. The play begins as a love story, when the Duchess marries beneath her class, and ends as a nightmarish tragedy as her two brothers undertake their revenge, destroying themselves in the process. Jacobean drama continued the trend of stage violence and horror set by Elizabethan tragedy, under the influence of Seneca.[3] The complexity of some of the plays characters, particularly Bosola and the Duchess, and Websters poetic language, have led many critics to consider The Duchess of Malfi among the greatest tragedies of English renaissance drama
