Marlow, Christopher

The tragical history of Doctor Faustus - Chennai Emerald 2006 - 85p.

This edition is intended to fulfil the needs of graduate students of English literature in college classes. The aim is to achieve clarity through simplification. An account of Marlowe's life, a brief survey of English drama before Marlowe, short summaries of Marlowe's plays, an analysis of the date, source and text of Doctor Fausts with a critical summary and Marlowe's contribution to English drama are provided for better understanding. A few critical excerpts are added at the end to enable the present-day readers to assess the greatness of the play and its appeal to generations of readers in the past. It is hoped that this edition will help the reader to appreciate and enjoy the "mighty lines" of Marlowe's blank verse and the shaping spirit of his creative imagination.
