Product Description

Review

'I found it more exciting than I should probably admit to at seeing the Shakespeare-rich layer of annotation underpinning the text on the page of a play - The Duchess of Malfi - that simply hasn't been treated in that way before, especially in terms of introductory matter.'
--Shakespeare Bookshop Newsletter (December 2009) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

Ferdinand forbids his widowed sister to marry again.  When he discovers that she is not only married but had a child he is driven mad with fury.  The Duchess of Malfi is a study in strong characters, dark deeds and dreadful revenge.

This edition includes close textual analysis, notes on different interpretations, interviews with actors and directors and a selection of critical scenes. 

From the Back Cover

WISH ME GOOD SPEED,
FOR I AM GOING INTO A WILDERNESS
WHERE I SHALL FIND NOR PATH NOR FRIENDLY CLEW
TO BE MY GUIDE

Forbidden to remarry by her two brothers, the Duchess of Malfi nevertheless finds herself attracted to her steward, Antonio. They go through a form of marriage, and the Duchess eventually bears three children. Despite the Duchess's determined efforts to keep all secret, Bosola, who has been set to spy on her by her brothers, eventually uncovers the truth – and the fate of the Duchess and her family is sealed.

On this recording Barbara Jefford, Robert Stephens and Alec McCowen lead a distinguished company in a haunting performance of Webster's powerful tragedy of murder and revenge.
