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. \u003cbr\u003eOften 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 Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45117283631255,"sku":"9780486406602","price":349.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486406602.webp?v=1769206442","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-duchess-of-malfi-9780486406602","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
