«Three Plays» is the theater volume by John Webster, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (464 pages, in English).
The Jacobean playwright John Webster portrays in these three plays a world of corruption, duplicity and violence at the court of James I. In «The White Devil» and «The Duchess of Malfi», intrigue, unequal marriage and revenge dominate; «The Devil's Law-Case» moves away from tragedy with a plot of twists that reaffirms the social order.
The edition includes the three plays announced in the subtitle, with an introduction and notes by David C. Gunby.
For readers interested in classic English theater and seventeenth-century dramatic literature.
John Webster was an English Jacobean dramatist best known for his tragedies The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi, which are often seen as masterpieces of the early 17th-century English stage. His life and career overlapped with Shakespeare's.
