Webster, John (
c.1578–
c.1626), combined the careers of coachmaker and playwright. He wrote several plays in collaboration with other dramatists; these include
Westward Hoe and
Northward Hoe, with
Dekker (both printed 1607); and
A Cure for a Cuckold (printed 1661), probably with
Rowley (and possibly
Heywood). He expanded Marston's
The Malcontent for the
King's Men in 1604, and published elegies on Prince Henry in 1613 with Heywood and
Tourneur. His great reputation rests on his two major works,
The White Devil (pub. 1612) and
The Duchess of Malfi (pub. 1623). With these two tragedies Webster has achieved a reputation second only to Shakespeare's. The 20th cent. has seen a strong revival of interest in the plays as drama, and in Webster as a satirist and moralist.
