«The Dutch Courtesan» is John Marston's comedy, published by Methuen Drama in paperback (120 pages, in English).
Set in seventeenth-century England, the plot follows Freevill when, as a joke, he puts his friend Malheureux before his lover, the courtesan Franceschina; the trick awakens jealousy, revenge and a deadly plot. Marston portrays passion as danger, friendship as betrayal and rigid morality put to the test by desire.

Aimed at students of English literature and fans of Renaissance theatre.
