Product Description
Review
.,."offers new students...analytical skills through which to approach Marlowe's works, while also highlighting the central themes..."--Katherine Larson, MSA Book Reviews
Product Description
Christopher Marlowe's four major works ("Doctor Faustus", "Edward II", "The Jew of Malta" and "Tamburlaine") are daring explorations of themes such as the nature of kingship, salvation and damnation, sexuality, and ethnic prejudice. This book looks in depth at extracts from each of these plays, exploring them in parallel to uncover key concerns, including heroes and anti heroes, gender, and power and politics. As well as guiding readers in an understanding of the place of these issues in their Elizabethan context, and inviting them to consider their resonance at the beginning of the 21st century. The book looks at Marlowe's style and his significance in the evolution of English drama.

First Sentence
The pattern of this first chapter of extracts will not match the layout of the chapters that follow: rather than looking closely at one passage from each of Marlowe's plays, as most subsequent chapters will, in this opening section we are going to consider two extracts from each play, the prologue and the first scene.
