The Duchess of Malfi (Dover Thrift Editions)

The evils of greed and ambition overwhelm love, innocence, and the bonds of kinship in this dark tragedy concerning the secret marriage of a noblewoman and a commoner. John Websters great Jacobean drama detailing the fiendish schemes of two brothers who desire their wealthy sisters title and estates ends with a bloody and horrifying climax. A dynamic plot brimming with poetic lyricism, this provocative and profoundly original work will appeal to general readers, students, and teachers of drama and literature.
