Elizabethan Marlowe: Writing and Culture in the English Renaissance

Portada
Rowman & Littlefield, 1994 - 113 páginas
Intended as a discussion suitable for students, this book considers all Marlowe's major works in their historical and discursive context: Tamburlaine, Parts I and II, The Jew of Malta, Edward II, Doctor Faustus, and Hero and Leander. Marlowe's writing emerges as embedded in the historical processes of his time and as crossed by the contradictory discourses of his day.
