The book is a semiotic study of Jacobean drama, examining both canonical texts by Thomas Middleton, John Webster and less known dramas such as Anonymous Lust's Dominion, Markham and Sampson's Herod and Antipater or Thierry and Theodoret by Beaumont and Fletcher. Combining Bakhtinian concepts with Jurij Lotman's theory of semiosphere, the author offers new readings of eleven tragedies.
