A contemporary of William Shakespeare and Ben Jonson; Christopher Marlowe was one of the most influential early modern dramatists; whose life and mysterious death have long been the subject of critical and popular speculation. This collection sets Marlowes plays and poems in their historical context; exploring his world and his wider cultural influence. Chapters by leading international scholars discuss both his major and lesser-known works. Divided into three sections; Marlowes works; Marlowes world; and Marlowes reception; the book ranges from Marlowes relationship with his own audience through to adaptations of his plays for modern cinema. Other contexts for Marlowe include history and politics; religion and science. Discussions of Marlowes critics and Marlowes appeal today; in performance; literature and biography; show how and why his works continue to resonate; and a comprehensive further reading list provides helpful suggestions for those who want to find out more.
