The White Devil and The Duchess of Malfi is a collection of two plays written by John Webster, a prominent English playwright of the Jacobean era. The White Devil is a tragedy that tells the story of Vittoria Corombona, a beautiful and cunning woman who manipulates the men around her to achieve her own ends. The play is set in Italy and explores themes of revenge, ambition, and corruption. The Duchess of Malfi, on the other hand, is a tragicomedy that follows the story of the Duchess, a young widow who falls in love with her steward, Antonio, and marries him in secret. The play is set in Italy and explores themes of love, loyalty, and betrayal. Both plays are known for their vivid characters, complex plots, and poetic language, and are considered masterpieces of Jacobean drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
