Very Good in Dustjacket. 8 full page black & white plates. 219 pages. hardcover. keywords: Literature England Biography. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Readers of A. L. Rowse's splendid biography of Shakespeare need hardly be reminded of the ascending curve of Shakespeare's life, the solid and gratifying fruits of his success. Less well known but even richer in human interest' is the story of that doomed genius across whose life Shakespeare's cut, one man's star rising as the other's sank. Two months Shakespeare's senior, Marlowe at twenty-three, when Shakespeare came up to London, was the undisputed master of the Elizabethan stage. Six years later he was dead, his reckless, passionate, arrogant, marvelously gifted life ended in a tavern brawl. A. L. Rowse re-creates with vivid sympathy and masterly detail this turbulent and headstrong man, driven by that blind force the Greeks called hubris and the Freudians self-destruction; his boyhood in the great cathedral city of Canterbury; the brilliant Cambridge years; the triumph of Tamburlaine; the breathtaking innovations of his poetry; the dark involvements in atheism and espionage; his rivalry with Shakespeare for Southampton's patronage; his stepped-up recklessness and tangles with the law; the rendezvous at a Deptford tavern; the knife-thrust that put finis to it all. Tamburlaine, Edward Il, Dr. Faustus - Marlowe's insatiable and tormented spirit informs the heroes of his great plays, and one reads his story with an ache of pity and inconsolable loss. The lavish excerpts from Marlowe's work which Dr. Rowse weaves into his narrative make clear the gravity of that loss. His achievement in so short a working life places him among the great poets of the English language, and, even in that company, his genius was unique. inventory #6353.

First Edition
First edition of Marlowe collected works, one of 250 examples. Octavo, original cloth, 3 volumes. Half-titles, wreath devices on title-pages, errata leaf at end of vol.III which is rarely present. In very good condition with some chipping with a few minor losses to spines and extremities. Rare, especially in the original cloth. Geoffrey Keynes describes this edition of Marlowe's works, edited by George Robinson and with an introduction by Alexander Dyce, as "inaccurate," but contends that it is also "attractive." Pickering and Chatto's William Pickering explains that this edition "occupies an important position in the bibliographies of Marlowe not only for its textual content, but also for the clarity and beauty of its typography." Christopher Marlowe, also known as Kit Marlowe, was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era. Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day. He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death. Marlowe's plays are known for the use of blank verse and their overreaching protagonists.
