La Duchesse d’Amalfi
by John Webster, translated by Gisele Venet
Temoignage des racines anglaises du mouvement romantique, La Duchesse d’Amalfi est la plus importante tragedie de John Webster (1580-1625). Elle tient une place de choix parmi les tragedies sanglantes de l’epoque elisabethaine, a cause de l’horreur tragique qui s’en degage, de la force du dialogue et du grandiose relief des personnages. La piece de Webster met en scene l’histoire vecue de la Duchesse d’Amalfi: remariee secretement a son intendant Antonio Bologna apres son veuvage, la duchesse avait du s’enfuir apres cinq ans de bonheur sans pouvoir eviter la vengeance de ses deux freres, le cardinal d’Aragon et le duc Ferdinand de Calabre qui firent tuer Antonio a Milan en octobre 1513.
