Contact Us We follow after bubbles, blown in th'air. Pleasure of life, what is't? Only the good hours of an ague The Jacobean age was one of questioning and uncertainty about many issues, such as religion, politics and law. At the same time it was rediscovering the potency of Classical texts of Rome and Greece, and reinterpreting tragic form to suit its own ends. The Duchess of Malfi is a revenge tragedy, but Webster has used the form for much more than just its entertainment value; he has used it as a vehicle for the exploration of some themes relevant to the society of his time. Webster based his plot on a true story set in Italy, and kept the Italian setting because like Shakespeare and other playwrights of his day, he had to use politically-acceptable foreign settings in which to explore ideas such as those presented in The Duchess of Malfi , (which were really commentaries on the England of their own era), to do with inequality, injustice, and corruption, without causing outrage in response to his work.

51. The Life Of John Webster (1580?-1625?) Very little is known about the life of john webster. He Bibliography Berry, Ralph. The Art of john webster (1972) Bliss, Lee. World s http://www.luminarium.org/sevenlit/webster/webbio.htm

Very little is known about the life of John Webster. He was the son of a London carriage maker, John Webster, who was a member of the Merchant Taylors' Company before being made free in 1571. His father married on November 4, 1577, to Elizabeth Coates. It is assumed that John Webster was born soon after, but since the parish records were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666, no accurate date exists. It is possible that John Webster attended the respected Merchant Taylors' School, but there is no evidence to the same. There is a record of a John Webster entered at Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court, in 1598, but it is not certain that he was John Webster, the playwright. It is, however, likely, considering Webster's connections with Templars Sir Thomas Overbury John Marston , and John Ford , as well as his knowledge of law as evidenced later by his plays. Yet whoever this Webster was, he was never called to the bar. Webster started in the theatre working for Philip Henslowe . The first mention of Webster as a writer comes in 1602 when Anthony Munday Michael Drayton Thomas Middleton , and John Webster were paid an advance for a now-lost play titled Caesar's Fall (or Two Shapes Webster's first known work dates from 1604. In 1604 Webster wrote an Induction for the revival of

Encyclopedia Webster, John Webster, John, , English dramatist, b. London. Although little is known of his life, there is evidence that he worked for Philip Henslowe , collaborating with such playwrights as Dekker and Ford. Webster's literary reputation rests almost entirely on his two great tragedies, The White Devil (c. 1608) and The Duchess of Malfi (c. 1614). Violent and sensational, both plays treat the theme of revenge and generate a brooding, somber mood. Webster's highly poetic language and profound understanding of human suffering create a true tragic pathos and force. See his works (ed. by F. L. Lucas, 4 vol., 1927); studies by C. Leech (1951, repr. 1970), R. Berry (1972), R. F. Whitman (1973), L. Bliss (1983), and C. Forker (1986).
