Talk:The Duchess of Malfi

message: Why is this on Speedy deletion?  It's coherent, sensible, informative and should be merged with the other article instead of being outright deleted.--Pharos 23:38, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I happened to come across the duplication while browsing and proposed a merge. I don't have a passion either way. But I'd note (a) The Singing Badger's summary claims "reads like plagiarism, doesn't have much unique info, contains several inaccuracies" and (b) this article is mostly about Webster's career at the time and barely about the play. If anything, the information should be merged into John Webster. David Brooks 01:58, 15 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: This section erroneously says the play was first performed in the Globe. It was initially performed in the indoors Blackfriars theatre, as the opening paragraph of the article clearly says.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.254.158.92 (talk) 10:47, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Historical Staging" section 

message: I.e. Fritz Leiber in his novel "The Wanderer" quotes this. If we'll google we'll find some another quotations.
I can add it by myself because i haven't got the text and can't place correct number of chapter , etc.

message: The painting by Giuio Romano (school of Raphael) is no longer thought to be a portrait of Giovanna (more commonly called Jeanne d'Aragon). It's hard to see why it ever was as the painting was groundbreakingly sensuous for its time and Giovanna was barely sixteen years old and unmarried at the times of its commission: even the free falling locks of hair would have been unthinkable. It's now thought to be a portrait of Doña Isabel de Requesens, a celebrated beauty of the time married to Ramón de Cardona, viceroy of Naples. See the notes at this file  for more info.
I don't want to make an edit somewhere I don't normally contribute, but editors here might like to consider replacing it with some other image. Coat of Many Colours (talk) 13:53, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I am aware is was never thought to be of Giovanna d'Aragona, Duchess of Amalfi, who was not 16 at the time. She died ten years before Raphael did, when Giulio Romano was about 11. It was thought to be Giovanna d'Aragona, Duchess of Tagliacozzo the patron of the arts. The caption is just wrong.

message: Is this section necessary? Smoreno7 (talk) 23:20, 30 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: If the section is deemed relevant, there are several mechanical errors in need of tending to. It seems there's lack of proper capitalization and links to other articles. Mcondon11 (talk) 05:23, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: It also includes performance information that ought to go in the "Performance history" section (and redundantly does). More polished play articles (e.g. Hamlet, Macbeth) feature a "Texts" section; perhaps this could go there?  Too bad there is not yet a standard Wiki format for such articles, each has its own section arrangement it seems.Henry chianski (talk) 18:47, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
