This volume includes some of his most famous works, such as The Duchess of Malfi, The White Devil, and The Devil’s Law-Case. These plays are known for their dark and violent themes, as well as their complex characters and intricate plots. The Duchess of Malfi, for example, tells the story of a noblewoman who secretly marries her steward, leading to tragic consequences.
