About The Book
The Art of John Webster, first published in 1972, is a profound study of the three surviving plays attributed solely to John Webster, offering an in-depth analysis of his work within the broader context of European Baroque art. Webster's plays are explored as literary attempts to replicate the dramatic effects of Baroque art, using their content to portray the timeless conflict between evil and the law.
This critical examination highlights Webster’s artistic mastery, re-establishing his place as a serious and influential dramatist. Ralph Berry’s insightful study looks at the distinctive features of Webster's plays and their impact on literature, emphasizing their complexity and their place in the larger history of drama.
This book will be particularly valuable for students of literature and drama, as it provides both a scholarly analysis of Webster’s works and a broader discussion on their artistic and cultural significance.
