Webster: The Tragedies (Analysing Texts)
Kate Aughterson
Webster has a reputation for angst-ridden, obsessive, and debased characters and the creation of a sick and decaying world, and yet his heroines are among the strongest characters in Jacobean drama. Through close analysis of key moments, scenic and dramatic structure, characterization, theatricality and imagery, Aughterson shows how Webster uses drama to debate political and social issues, most explicitly those of gender.
