"Arguably the single-most important play of the Elizabethan era,
Tamburlaine did more than any other to transform an insignificant
form of public entertainment, barely distinguishable from the
juggling, fencing, and animal-baiting with which it shared its
performance space, into an art of national importance. . . .
Tamburlaine cranks the excitements of language and spectacle to an
unprecedented pitch, not simply to indulge the fantasies of the
audience but as an exemplary demonstration of poetry's dangerous
potency."-The New York Review of Books. Christopher Marlowe
(1564-1593) has been called the founder of English drama and the
perfecter of dramatic blank verse. He is known as a poet and
translator of Lucan and Ovid, and as a guide and leader for
Shakespeare and the other Elizabethan poets and dramatists.
Tamburlaine the Great was his most ambitious work and the first
play written in English blank verse. John Davies Jump was professor
of English at the University of Manchester.
