| Summary |
This volume includes most of the important modern commentaries on Christopher Marlowe. It is the first major collection of criticism on this epoch-making Elizabethan poet and dramatist. The writers represented here call attention to his comic and ironic overtones, the allegorical and moral strains running through his plots, his lurking awareness of the horror in the world. These critics emphasize also Marlowe's skill as a practical dramatist and deplore the infrequency with which his plays appear on modern stages. This anthology may give added impetus to a long-awaited Marlowe revival, for implicit in it is the message: "Perform him." -- From publisher's description. |
