Recenzii

'I found it more exciting than I should probably admit to at seeing the Shakespeare-rich layer of annotation underpinning the text on the page of a play - The Duchess of Malfi - that simply hasn't been treated in that way before, especially in terms of introductory matter.'
'Fascinating reading'
'Webster took tragedy to a new level in the psychology of evil, actual horror and callousness.'
'Webster's language has a musical poetry second only to Shakespeare's'
