Routledge Marlowe's Ovid: The Elegies in the Marlowe Canon

Marlowe's Ovid: The Elegies in the Marlowe Canon by Routledge provides a deep analysis of the connection between Christopher Marlowe's translation of Ovid's Amores and his own body of work. As the first book of its kind, this study examines how the Elegies relate to his seven known dramatic productions and his narrative poem, Hero and Leander. Author Stapleton offers a fresh way to read Marlowe by using his rendition of the Amores to interpret his dramatic and poetic output. This scholarly work engages with existing research regarding translation accuracy and bibliography, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers of Elizabethan literature. By looking at the relationship between his translations and his original plays, readers gain a new perspective on his literary contributions.
