Renaissance tragedy, the A-text published in 1604 which, it is
generally agreed, preserves much of Marlowe's original version. In
addition, it separately includes the scenes that were adapted or added
in the B-text of 1616. Marlowe joined the form of the late medieval
morality play to the historical material found in the German tale of
Johann Faust, who sells his soul to the devil in return of infinite
power and knowledge. Ironically undercutting the aspirations of
Renaissance Man, the play presents a devil who fails to impress the
sinner with the realities of hell - 'I think hell's a fable,' Faustus
shrugs - and calls into question the medium of theatre, which time and
again serves the devil to distract Faustus when the pious promptings of
his heart threaten to lead him to repentance.
