John Webster's great Jacobean drama focuses on a secret marriage that strikes the disastrous spark to an inferno of violence. When the Duchess of Malfi marries Antonio, a household steward, her two fiendishly jealous brothers - hoping to inherit her title and estates - plant a household spy whose treachery leads to a bloody and horrifying climax.Often compared to Shakespeare in terms of his dynamic plots and poetic lyricism, Webster created radical, profoundly original works that feature shifting perspectives and thought-provoking challenges to conventional moral judgments. Required reading for courses in seventeenth-century English literature, this provocative masterpiece from the Golden Age of English drama will not only be welcomed by students and teachers of English literature but also a wide audience of general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52208257335584,"sku":"NEW0486406601","price":11.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Z9JQ55HCL.jpg?v=1787136816","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-duchess-of-malfi-dover-thrift-editions-plays-0486406601","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
