Added line(s) 3 (click to see context) :
John Webster is much less famous than Shakespeare and ''Theatre/TheDuchessOfMalfi'' is the only one of his plays widely-known, so any reference to his works will almost always be a reference to it.
Changed line(s) 3 (click to see context) from:
to:
* ''Cover Her Face'', 1962 novel by Creator/PDJames, uses a line from ''The Duchess of Malfi'' as its title.
* ''The Skull Beneath the Skin'', also by Creator/PDJames, is a sort of reference of a reference. Its title comes from T. S. Eliot's poem (see Poetry section below), where Eliot is describing Webster.
* ''Call for the Dead'', Creator/JohnLeCarre's first novel, has Smiley quoting ''The Duchess of Malfi'' in his sleep.
* ''Queen of the Damned'' by Creator/AnneRice also uses the line "Cover her face; mine eyes dazzle; she died young".
[[AC: Live-Action TV]]
* ''Series/MissMarple1984'': One episode adapts ''Sleeping Murder'' (mentioned above) and has a brief scene from an in-universe production of ''The Duchess of Malfi''. Confusingly, a character speaking about the play misidentifies Ferdinand as "the Jew". [[CowboyBeBopAtHisComputer There are no Jewish characters in the play.]] ''Someone'' didn't do their research!

* Echo & the Bunnymen mention both ''The Duchess of Malfi'' and ''The White Devil'' in their song "My White Devil".

* ''Literature/SleepingMurder'' by Creator/AgathaChristie features a line from ''Theatre/TheDuchessOfMalfi'' ("Cover her face; mine eyes dazzle; she died young"). The murderer quotes this over his victim's body. A witness overhears him. Years later she attends a performance of ''The Duchess of Malfi'', hears the line again, and is reminded of the murder.

* "[[https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/52563/whispers-of-immortality Whispers of Immortality]]" by Creator/TSEliot opens with two verses praising Webster.
--> Webster was much possessed by death\\
And saw the skull beneath the skin...
