DESCRIPTION:
Classic Marlowe is a playwright on par with Shakespeare. I am surprised that he is not more popular than he is, as the two were contemporaries at the time. I have really enjoyed studying the Jew of Malta.
This New Mermaids anthology brings together the four most popular and widely studied of Christopher Marlowe's plays: Tamburlaine, Parts 1 and 2, The Jew of Malta, Edward II and Dr Faustus. The new introduction by Brian Gibbons explores the plays in the context of early modern theatre, culture and politics, as well as examining their language, characters and themes. On-page commentary notes guide students to a better understanding and combine to make this an indispensable student edition ideal for study and classroom use.
