Focusing upon Marlowe the playwright as opposed to Marlowe the man; the essays in this collection position the dramatists plays within the dramaturgical; ethical; and sociopolitical matrices of his own era. The volume also examines some of the most heated controversies of the early modern period; such as the anti-theatrical debate; the relations between parents and children; Machiavaellisup1;s ideology; the legitimacy of sectarian violence; and the discourse of addiction. Some of the chapters also explore Marlowes polysemous influence on the theater of his time and of later periods; but; most centrally; upon his more famous contemporary poet/playwright; William Shakespeare.

The cover page is what caught my eye; and when I followed up on Ravelry with the patterns that were included in this book; I knew I had to have it.I received my copy a few days ago; and am not disappointed - from the photography (love the close up pictures of the lace details!!) to the Special techniques section; everything is detailed with pictures. I also love the fact that Jen Lucas had the forethought to add in to each pattern a section on how to make your shawl bigger. As a knitter; I have knit many shawl patterns where they turned out smaller than I would have liked.I am halfway through knitting Happenstance; and love that its more challenging than the normal shawls I knit up.Happy knitting!!25 of 25 people found the following review helpful. Well written; lovely projectsBy Cynthia NillThis author does it right. She includes both; charts and written instructions for stitch patterns. Brava! I know a lot of people like and use charts. More power to them. I am of the other variety of knitter. I like written instructions and hate charts. This book does both; which is as it should be. I have been knitting all my life and I am an accomplished knitter. I have used a chart under duress; so it isnt that I dont know how to read a chart; it is that I dont want to read a chart. This book has some lovely projects and the instructions are clear and well written. I recommend this book to anyone looking for some lovely lacy projects.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful AccessoriesBy LadyprofWonderful patterns. Its difficult to choose which ones to knit. I particularly like that there are both charts and written instructions for all of them.I have completed several and have found no errors in the patterns -- which is common in patterns Ive gotten online. The instructions are very clear and I believe an advanced beginner could successfully complete them. There are also instructions on how to enlarge the shawls if you have more yarn than is called for in the pattern. The smaller sizes take only a couple of evenings to complete but yield beautiful products.
