Set in the court of Malfi, the tragic narrative follows a widowed Duchess who defies her family's wishes to marry Antonio, a steward, leading to themes of power, revenge, and deception. Alongside this central play, the collection includes "The White Devil," a revenge tragedy based on a historical murder, "The Devil's Law Case," which explores the complexities of love and debt, and "A Cure for a Cuckold," co-authored with William Rowley, featuring a wedding disrupted by a duel. This edition highlights the works of John Webster, a key figure in Jacobean drama.
