Description

This study provides an authoritative overview of all Marlowe's work.

It includes thorough investigations of his major plays, Tamburlaine, Edward II, The Jew of Malta and Doctor Faustus as well as a full discussion of The Massacre at Paris, Dido Queen of Carthage and all his extant poetry.

Analysis of Faustus takes full account of both A and B text versions.

Thoroughly researched and yet presented in an accessible, engaging style, A Preface to Marlowe reads Marlowe's life and times, as well as his work, in the light of current critical theory.

Consequently, it is a vital guide for all students of early modern drama.

As well as providing sharp analysis of stage history, Dr Simkin reflects on the wider significance of a stage-oriented approach.

The result is a reading of Marlowe that re-opens debates about his status as a radical figure and as a subversive playwright and invites the reader to experience the plays as immediate, exciting, 'live' documents.
