This book presents a comprehensive introduction to Marlowe's
"Doctor Faustus" - introducing its critical history, performance
history, the current critical landscape and new directions in
research on the play. "Doctor Faustus" is Christopher Marlowe's
most popular play and is often seen as one of the overwhelming
triumphs of the English Renaissance. It has had a rich and varied
critical history often arousing violent critical controversy. This
guide offers students an introduction to its critical and
performance history, surveying notable stage productions from its
initial performance in 1594 to the present and including TV, audio
and cinematic versions. It includes a keynote chapter outlining
major areas of current research on the play and four new critical
essays. Finally, a guide to critical, web-based and
production-related resources and an annotated biography provide a
basis for further individual research. "Continuum Renaissance
Drama" offers practical and accessible introductions to the
critical and performative contexts of key Elizabethan and Jacobean
plays. Each guide introduces the text's critical and performance
history but also provides students with an invaluable insight into
the landscape of current scholarly research through a keynote essay
on the state of the art and newly commissioned essays of fresh
research from different critical perspectives.
