The Complete Plays

This book gathers all seven of the dramas of Christopher Marlowe, in which the lure of dark forces drives the shifting balances between weak and strong, sacred and profane. Supported by textual notes and featuring modern punctuation and spelling, they include: - Dido, Queen of Carthage - Tamburlaine the Great, Part One - Tamburlaine the Great, Part Two - The Jew of Malta - Doctor Faustus - Edward the Second - The Massacre at Paris With a critical introduction, a chronology of Marlowe’s life, extensive commentary, and a glossary, this will remain the authoritative anthology of Marlowe’s plays for years to come.

Christopher Marlowe (1564-û1593) was educated at Cambridge. A possible spy with a reputation for atheism, he was murdered at the age of twenty-nine in a tavern in Deptford.

Robert Lindsey is associate editor of the journal Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England and teaches at the Central School of Speech and Drama, London.

Frank Romany teaches English at St. John-'s College, Oxford.
