Description

The Art of John Webster, first published in 1972, is a study of the three extant plays of Webster known to be solely his work.

These plays are seen as attempts to achieve in literature the effects of the baroque, a term which related Webster to the larger developments of European art.

Their content is analysed in terms of a consistent opposition between evil and the law.

The book seeks to re-establish a base for the claims that must be made for Webster as a serious artist.

This title will be of interest to students of literature and drama.
