Description
This work focuses on Marlowe's works as an index of the major transformation of Elizabethan theatrical practices. In the opening chapter, Cole reviews the unusually intriguing historical record of Marlowe's life outside the theatre. The body of the book addresses Marlowe's individual plays as experiments in extending and redefining the traditional concepts and techniques of tragic drama, and suggests how his contemporaries and followers made use of his innovations. Intended as an introduction to the subject, this book provides an insightful approach to Marlowe's work and the study of Elizabethan thought and theatre.
Reviews:
-
Marlowe scholars will welcome this lucidly written book. In addition to chapter-by-chapter examinations of each of Marlowe's plays, Cole provides a brief biographical sketch of Marlowe and a description of the theater world in Queen Elizabeth's time...The infinite riches in this little book are not to be missed by any serious Marlovian scholar. Upper-division undergraduate upward.

...Marlowe's reputation as an author and an innovative dramatist is assured, and Douglas Cole's book is an excellent assessment of it.
