Publisher Description:

The Duchess of Malfi is one of the major tragedies of the
early modern period and remains popular in the theatre as well as in
the classroom. The story of the Duchess's secret marriage and the cruel

centuries.

This new Arden edition offers readers a comprehensive, illustrated
introduction to the play's historical, critical and performance
history. The text is modernised and edited to the highest scholarly
standards, with textual notes and commentary notes on the same page for

This is the lead title in the launch of The Arden Early Modern

thinking long associated with the Arden. The edition will be valued by
students, teachers and theatre professionals.
