Christopher Marlowe Libri
6 febbraio 1564 – 30 maggio 1593
Christopher Marlowe fu un preminente drammaturgo e poeta elisabettiano, la cui opera si affianca a quella di William Shakespeare come apice dell'epoca. È rinomato per il suo magnifico verso sciolto, i suoi protagonisti ambiziosi e la sua misteriosa e prematura scomparsa. Le sue opere teatrali esibiscono una potente energia drammatica e profondità filosofica, consolidando la sua eredità come maestro della tragedia inglese.

Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), a man of extreme passions and a playwright of immense talent, is the most important of Shakespeare's contemporaries. This edition offers his five major plays, which show the radicalism and vitality of his writing in the few years before his violent death. Tamburlaine Part One and Part Two deal with the rise to world prominence of the great Scythian shepherd-robber; The Jew of Malta is a drama of villainy and revenge; Edward II was to influence Shakespeare's Richard II. Doctor Faustus, perhaps the first drama taken from the medieval legend of a man who sells his soul to the devil, is here in both its A- and its B- text, showing the enormous and fascinating differences between the two. Under the General Editorship of Dr. Michael Cordner of the University of York, the texts of the plays have been newly edited and are presented with modernized spelling and punctuation. In addition, there is a scholarly introduction and detailed annotation.
