Synopsis

This significant work examines the iconic 16th-century English playwright, Christopher Marlowe: his dramatic works and their literary and historical significance. The author explores Marlowe's exploration of complex themes like power, morality, and ambition, arguing that Marlowe's influence on the genre of tragedy and on later playwrights such as Shakespeare is undeniable. Through various lenses, including feminism, Marxism, psychoanalysis, and queer theory, the author offers fresh interpretations of Marlowe's most famous plays, including Doctor Faustus, Tamburlaine, The Jew of Malta, and Edward II. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in Marlowe's extraordinary contribution to the development of English drama.
