"Webster & Tourneur" by John Webster and Cyril Tourneur is a collection of dramatic works written during the early 17th century. This edition includes notable plays such as "The White Devil," "The Duchess of Malfi," "The Atheist's Tragedy," and "The Revenger's Tragedy," showcasing the tragedies and themes characteristic of the period. The plays largely explore themes of ambition, revenge, and moral corruption, often set against the backdrop of dark societal elements. At the start of this collection, the text gives an overview of the Globe Theatre and the works of Webster and Tourneur, setting the stage for their intense explorations of the human experience. It presents a rich historical context and delves into a detailed examination of the playwrights' techniques, drawing comparisons between their styles and contributions to the "Tragedy of Blood." It highlights the principal themes of their works, such as jealousy, betrayal, and tragic downfall, as indicated through characters like Vittoria Corombona and Duke Brachiano in "The White Devil," where vengeance and moral complexity drive the narrative from the very first scenes. This introduction provides readers with a foundation for understanding the intricate plots and the psychologically charged landscapes of the plays to follow.
