{"product_id":"9780141964768","title":"Three Plays","description":"The plays of Jacobean dramatist John Webster are masterpieces of early seventeenth-century English theatre. ‘The White Devil’ depicts a dark, sinister world of duplicity, intrigue and murderous infidelity, while ‘The Duchess of Malfi’ tells the macabre story of a woman who marries beneath herself and sets in motion a terrible cycle of violence. Unlike these revenge tragedies, ‘The Devil’s Law-Case’ asserts social order in a plot filled with twists of fate. Written at a time when the court of King James was rife with instability and corruption, Webster’s disturbing plays reflect this abuse of power and are known for their horrific vision of humanity – yet they are also some of the most rich, sophisticated dramas ever composed.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47080814641392,"sku":"9780141964768","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141964768_p0.jpg?v=1763655965","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141964768","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
