This is a comprehensive introduction to "The Duchess of Malfi" that

scholars an introduction to its critical and performance history,
including recent versions on stage and screen. It includes a
keynote chapter outlining major areas of current research on the
play and four new critical essays presenting new critical positions

bibliography provide a basis for further individual research.
