Providing a comprehensive survey of Christopher Marlowe's literary
career, this Introduction presents an approachable account of the
life, works and influence of the groundbreaking Elizabethan
dramatist and poet. It includes in-depth discussions of all of
Marlowe's plays, stressing what was new and revolutionary about
them as well as how they made use of existing dramatic models.
Marlowe's poems and translations, sometimes marginalised in
discussions of his work, are analysed to emphasise their literary
importance and political resonances. The book presents a balanced
discussion of Marlowe's turbulent life and considers his
afterlives: the influence of his work on other writers and examples
of how his plays have been performed. In addition to introducing
the reader to the historical and religious contexts within which
Marlowe wrote, the Introduction stresses the qualities that
continue to make his work fascinating: intellectual range, radical
irony and an awareness of the dangerously compelling power of
theatre.
