Number sixteen in NHB's Drama Classics Series, providing the world's great drama at a great price.
The introduction to this edition of The White Devil includes a short biography of John Webster and chronology of his work; a guide to what happens in the play; a short history of the play and a guide to the Jacobean age, Jacobean Theatre and the revenge tradition; and a brief guide to characterisation, language, setting and themes.
The Italian Court is riddled with corruption in this classic Jacobean tragedy. The Duke Brascino is openly seducing a married woman, Vittoria, while plotting the murder of his own wife. Vittoria's brother Flamineo, a cold-blooded murderer, tries to exploit his position as Brascino's servant and pander. Finally Brascino's enemies, outraged by his perversions, seek a vicious revenge.
