Tamburlaine the Great, Parts One and Two are the first plays that
Christopher Marlowe wrote for London's then new freestanding,
open-air public playhouses. They trace the progress of Tamburlaine,
a Central Asian leader, as he "scourge[s] kingdoms with his
conquering sword" and rises to imperial power. The plays began
Marlowe's brief career as a public theatre dramatist with a bang:
the brutally masculine and martial main character immediately
captured audiences and the plays were widely imitated and parodied.
Even four hundred years later, Marlowe's Tamburlaine remains a
shocking and seductive figure. The introduction and historical
appendices to this new Broadview Edition provide many avenues for
readers to understand these plays, presenting other portrayals of
Islam from the period, related lives of Tamburlaine from other
writers, and material on Marlowe's scandalous reputation.
