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

Marlowe's Ovid: The Elegies in the Marlowe Canon 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 scholarly text explores how the Elegies relate to his seven known dramatic works and his narrative poem, Hero and Leander. Author Stapleton offers a new method for reading Marlowe by using his rendition of the Amores as a lens to examine his dramatic productions and poetry. The text engages with existing scholarship regarding translation accuracy and bibliography to provide a comprehensive view of his literary contributions. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers studying the relationship between classical translation and Elizabethan drama.
