Bøker av Revd Prof. John Webster

The Duchess of Malfi is a macabre, tragic play which is often performed and studied at A level and university. This Arden edition brings all the scholarship and comprehensive analysis associated with the series and offers readers a deeper understanding of the play than competing editions.

This 2003 book is a loud reaffirmation of the triune God at the heart of a scripture-based Christianity, but it is written with intellectual rigour by a theologian who understands the currents of modern secular thought, and is able to work from them towards a constructive position on biblical authority.

The continuing debate about John Webster's political, religious and philosophical attitudes, his formal skills and the importance of his plays for understanding the changing culture in which they were written, make him the most controversial of all Jacobean dramatists.
