Death's Jest-Book: Or The Fool's Tragedy is a play written by Thomas Lovell Beddoes in 1850. The play follows the story of a group of characters who are all connected to the central figure of the play, the Duke of Milan. The Duke is a cruel and manipulative man who has a dark past and is haunted by the ghosts of his victims. The play explores themes of power, revenge, love, and death as the characters navigate their way through the Duke's twisted world. The language of the play is poetic and complex, with many allusions to Shakespeare and other literary works. It is considered to be one of Beddoes' most important works and is often studied in literature and drama courses.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1850 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

"Death's Jest-Book" is the extravagant expression of Thomas Lovell Beddoes's lifelong obsession with mortality and immortality, a surrealising of Renaissance revenge tragedy, alight with treachery, murder, sorcery and haunting. Conceived as a satirical tragedy unmasking the terror of death, it contains some of the most powerful dramatic blank verse by any of the British Romantics. After early acclaim as a lyric poet and dramatist, Beddoes (1803-49) is only now emerging from a century and a half of neglect. This is the first affordable modern edition to present the "Jest-Book" in its earliest complete form, as Beddoes intended to publish it in 1829. The text is supplemented by Michael Bradshaw's introduction, notes and outline of the publication history.
