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.

An accomplished courtier, he also served as a member of Parliament from 1589 to 1601. His Euphues, published in two parts ( The Anatomy of Wit, 1578, and Euphues and His England, 1580), was an early example of the novel of manners and was one of the most influential works of its time. In it Lyly tried to establish an ideal of perfected prose style, which was actually convoluted and artificial (see euphuism ). His early plays, the most notable being Campaspe (1584) and Endimion (1591), followed Euphues in their elaborate style, but his later work, specifically Mother Bombie (1594), employed the realistic, robust manner of Roman comedy. His Woman in the Moon (1594?) was a a successful experiment in blank verse. Shakespeare and other Elizabethan playwrights were indebted to him for his innovation of prose as the vehicle for comic dialogue and for his development of the romantic comedy.

8. The Life Of John Webster (1580?-1625?) 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. after 1625, but no certainty exists. Bibliography Berry, Ralph. The Art of John Webster 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

Webster, John (b. c. 1580, London, Eng.d. c. 1632), English dramatist whose The White Devil c. c. 1612) and The Duchess of Malfi c. 1612/13, published 1623) are generally regarded as the paramount 17th-century English tragedies apart from those of Shakespeare. Little is known of Webster's life. His preface to Monuments of Honor, his Lord Mayor's Show for 1624, says he was born a freeman of the Merchant Taylors' Company. He was probably a coachmaker, and possibly he was an actor. Apart from his two major plays and The Devils Law-Case c. 1620; published 1623), his dramatic work consists of collaborations (not all extant) with leading writers. With Thomas Dekker , his main collaborator, he wrote Westward Ho (1604) and Northward Ho (1605), both of which were published in 1607. He is also believed to have worked to varying degrees with William Rowley, Thomas Middleton John Fletcher John Ford , and perhaps Philip Massinger . Eight extant plays and some nondramatic verse and prose are wholly or partly his; the most standard edition is The Complete Works of John Webster

Inicio Buscador Utilidades Recomendar sitio Enlaces Webster, John (Londres, c id ., 1624) Dramaturgo inglés. Es uno de los principales dramaturgos de su época. Colaboró con Thomas Dekker, John Heywood y William Rowley en algunas obras dramáticas, y completó la comedia El descontento (1604), de John Marston. Sus tragedias, inspiradas en novelle y relatos italianos, se caracterizan por la brutalidad sanguinaria de algunas escenas y, sobre todo, por su estilo, de gran riqueza y fuerza. Se conservan dos de sus dramas: El diablo blanco (estrenada hacia 1608; publicada en 1612), sobre la pasión del duque de Bracciano por Vittoria Accoramboni, y La duquesa de Amalfi (estrenada antes de 1614; publicada en 1623), sobre las persecuciones de que fue objeto la duquesa por haberse casado con Antonio, su mayordomo.
