This edition provides newly edited texts of both the 1604 (A-Text)
and 1616 (B-Text) versions of the play, each with detailed
explanatory annotations. "Sources and Contexts" includes a generous
selection from Marlowe s main source, The Damnable Life and
Deserved Death of Dr. John Faustus, along with contemporary
writings on magic and religion (including texts by Agrippa, Calvin,
and Perkins) that establish the play s intellectual background.
This volume also reprints early documents relating to the writing
and publication of the play and to its first performances, along
with contemporary comments on Marlowe s scandalous reputation.
Twenty-five carefully chosen interpretations written from the
eighteenth century to the present allow students to enrich their
critical understanding of the play. These diverse critical essays
include classic analyses by Charles Lamb, William Hazlitt, and A.
C. Swinburne, among others, and recent criticism from, among
others, Michael Neill, Katharine Eisaman Maus, Alison Findlay,
Stephen Orgel, and David Bevington. A Chronology and Selected
Bibliography are also included."
