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.
Description GoodReads
More widely studied and more frequently performed than ever before, John Websters The Duchess of Malfi is here presented in an accessible and thoroughly up-to-date edition. Based on the Revels Plays text, the notes have been augmented to cast further light both on Websters amazing dialogue and on the stage action. An entirely new introduction sets the tragedy in the context of pre-Civil War England and gives a revealing view of its imagery and dramatic action. From its well-documented early performances to the two productions seen in the West End of London in the 1995-96 season, a stage history gives an account of the play in performance. Students, actors, directors and theatre-goers will all find here a reappraisal of Websters artistry in the greatest age of English theatre, which highlights why it has lived on stage with renewed force in the last decades of the twentieth century.
