Product Description

Product Description

Weary of academic study, an eminent scholar turns to magic and makes a deal with the Devil.  Mephistopheles will serve him and give him whatever he wants, but after twenty-four years Faustus must keep his side of the bargain. 

This edition contains a detailed introductory section that puts the play in its historical context, in-depth textual notes, extracts from key critical works and exam-style questions.

3.0 out of 5 stars A by-chance read, 5 Feb 2009
By Simon Wells - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have never read a play before and the only reason I opened this one up was because I needed to buy it for my Open University course and I was surprised to find I enjoyed it. The book is split with the play on the right hand side with explanations on the left making it easy for you to understand what is being said.

There is also a description in the back about the life of Marlowe, which was interesting as he had lived quite an amazing life, not only this, he had been writing plays while Shakespere was still working on his. Marlowe's death has been shroded in secrecy with many ideas on why he died and I think that helps makes his plays even more interesting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book...now!, 19 May 2009
By David Howe (Oldham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Like the above review I had to read this book for an OU course. It took a couple of scenes for me to get into the language. At first I found myself checking the notes every couple of lines because I was unfamiliar with some of the terminology but once I got into it I was hooked. I ended up reading it in one go and really enjoyed it. The sections after the play are very useful aswell as they provide a lot of background information and put the play in context. Whether you are reading this play for fun or for a course its definately worth a read.

5.0 out of 5 stars PERFECT AND SO HELPFUL!, 9 Nov 2009
By Patricia Campbell "Shirt" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was indispensable on my a100 OU course, if only I'd had access to such books at school. Everything is explained and covered in the this tome, leaving no stone unturned, when studying the text/verse. Whether starting from scratch or if you are well-tuned in to learning, this tool is well worth buying.
