Notă biografică

Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was born in Canterbury the year of Shakespeare’s birth. Like Shakespeare, he was of a prosperous middle-class family, but unlike Shakespeare he went to a university, Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he received the bachelor’s degree in 1584 and the master’s degree in 1587. The terms of his scholarship implied that he was preparing for the clergy but he did not become a clergyman. Shortly before he received his M.A. the University seems to have wished to withhold it, apparently suspecting him of conversion to Roman Catholicism, but the Queen’s Privy Council intervened on his behalf, stating that he “had done her majesty good service” and had been employed “in matters touching the benefit of the country.” His precise service is unknown. After Cambridge, Marlowe went to London, where he apparently lived a turbulent life (he had two brushes with the law and was said to be disreputable) while pursuing a career as a dramatist. He wrote seven plays--the dates of which are uncertain--before he was yet again in legal difficulties: he was arrested in 1593, accused of atheism. He was not imprisoned, and before his case could be decided he was dead, having been stabbed in a tavern while quarreling over the bill.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
This fully re-edited, modernised play text is accompanied by commentary notes and an introduction written by Paul Menzer, guiding you through the fume of fact and legend that have accompanied the play across the centuries.

As well as the complete text of the play, this re-edited New Mermaids edition includes:

· A detailed plot summary and annotations throughout the text
· An annotated bibliography and suggestions for further reading
· A comprehensive introduction exploring the historical and literary context, and performance history, including Orson Welles's 1937 role as Doctor Faustus as well as recent productions at The Globe and the RSC

One of the most spectacular and popular plays of the Elizabethan stage, Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, with its fantastical mix of high-minded theology and low-brow slapstick, has allured generations of readers and playgoers in the ensuing centuries.

Recenzii

This is an excellent edition; I really appreciate the clear Introduction and the exceptionally useful notes. I look forward to using this text with a freshman literature class who will really benefit from the helpful textual apparatus. --Charlotte England, Department of English, Salisbury University

The inexpensive paperback will allow this student-friendly text to be added to the reading list of a variety of high-school and college courses. Teachers as well as students will find the Introduction here very useful. --Bibliotheque d'Humanisme et Renaissance

"The decision to embed much of the B-text (1616) into the full A-text (1604) of the play was a creative ‘compromise’ (as Lynch admits) in order to offer students as much of Marlowe’s full intention about the story as possible. The gray highlighting of the incorporated “B” textual material allows the reader access to the later textual material but also does not so intrude that the original “A” text cannot be read independently.... The meshing of the two versions can be very informative especially for teachers of theater and performance/ drama and teachers of writing, as well as for instructors in literature. I can imagine a theater instructor, for example, discussing with students what was/is lost/gained/ changed moving from the 1604 to the 1616 version of the play and how those changes might impact not just the themes but the actual performances of the play. An instructor in writing clearly could do much with the Lynch edition, especially in discussions about revision/ rewrites and the process of play writing." --June-Ann Greeley, Professor of Languages and Literature, Sacred Heart University
