NON-ACADEMIC'S TAKE ON MARLOWE
This book is a treat. Very reasonably priced, and it's all there. The plays sweep you along (I always envision darkening Puccini-like chords in the background) images and crackling dialogue abounds. My problem is: 1) I have never seen the plays produced. This is *such* a handicap. I actually yawned through Shakepeare's "Tempest" until I saw a fine production. Now it is hands-down my ...

Marlowe outdoes himself!
Marlowe's final play is also his masterpiece. To be sure, the dramatic events in this play really did happen, but Marlowe shows himself at his best when he paints the picture. At first, Marlowe masterfully allows us to detest Edward for undoing all the fine work of his father Edward Longshanks. We also are able to feel sorry for Mortimer and Isabella. (the eventual villains). Isabella feels ...

Christopher Marlowe, Roma Gill

W. W. Norton & Company, 1990

Marlowe's Masterpiece.
If you saw "Shakespeare In Love," you know this was the play of Marlowe's that was getting so much attention. (For that matter, I found this play better than "Romeo and Juliet," even though "Romeo and Juliet" was to become the big play at the climactic moment.) Moving on, we meet Dr. Faustus, and he decides that the legitimate knowledge of this world is not good enough. So, he decides to cross ...

Yes, the English Renaissance CAN be humorous!

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus

LeClue, 2008

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus is a play by Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story in which a man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge. On a deeper level, this play shows the decay of a person who chooses material gains (by commanding the devils to suit his desires) over spiritual belief and in doing so, loses his soul. Doctor Faustus was first published in 1604, eleven years after Marlowe's death and at least ...

Hackett Publishing Company, 2005

Two books on Dr Faustus for the price of one!
It is just so convenient to have both the 1604 A-text of Marlowe's Dr.Faustus bound with The English Faust Book. It is in that sense an ideal undergraduate text enabling students to make proper comparisons with a source and thereby to see how Marlowe has rendered the narrative into dramatic form. And anyway the Faust Book is great fun in itself. The editorial material, introduction and notes ...

Barabas, Scapegoat of Greed
Similar to Shakespeare's commercial epicenter, Venice, Malta bubbles with the primordial ooze of modern business. As David Thurn says, "The Jew of Malta may be understood as symptomatic of one phase in the prehistory of capitalism." Among other modern business practices, during the Italian Rennaissance, accounting found a rebirth and in the 16th century became common practice. By the end of ...

Tamburlaine the Great - Part Two

LeClue, 2008

Tamburlaine the Great is the name of a play in two parts by Christopher Marlowe. It is loosely based on the life of the Central Asian emperor, Timur 'the lame'. Written in 1587 or 1588, the play is a milestone in Elizabethan public drama; it marks a turning away from the clumsy language and loose plotting of the earlier Tudor dramatists, and a new interest in fresh and vivid language, memorable action, and intellectual complexity.
