Admission to the Middle Temple
Poet involved
What happened
In 1598, a 'John Webster' was admitted to the Middle Temple, one of the Inns of Court in London. This suggests he may have pursued legal studies, which likely influenced his understanding of justice and morality, themes that recur throughout his dramatic works.
Literary impact
Webster's time at the Middle Temple may have deepened his exploration of legal and moral themes in his plays. The complexities of justice and the law's application are central to his tragedies, reflecting the influence of his legal education on his literary output.
