Description

The blockbuster Tamburlaine plays (1587) instantly established Marlowes reputation for experimenting with subversive, outrageous and immoral material. The plays follow the meteoric rise of a Scythian shepherd-turned-warlord, whose conquests of eastern emperors soon sees him established as the most powerful man in the world. The visual tableaux featured in the plays are iconic. He uses his enemy Bajazeth as a footstool, and has other emperors pull his chariot like horses. He burns the Koran on stage. Over three successive days at the siege of Damascus, Tamburlaine first pitches a white tent (an opportunity for peaceful surrender), then a red tent (connoting the imminent bloodshed) and finally a black tent (signifying mercilessness; a threat borne out by his ruthless slaughter of the virgins of Damascus). The plays were memorable, too, for how they sounded: they showcased the power and variability of iambic pentameter, the meter that Shakespeare would go on to perfect. No history of Shakespeares theatre is complete without understanding the influence and significance of Marlowes Tamburlaine plays. Tamburlaine: A Critical Reader offers the definitive introduction to these plays and new perspectives on these seminal works. It provides an overview of their reception on stage and by critics, and offers fresh insights into the teaching of these plays in the classroom.
