Description

Explore the dramatic world of Christopher Marlowe through a fresh lens in this Routledge collection. Rather than focusing on the man himself, these essays examine Marlowe as a playwright, situating his works within the specific dramaturgical, ethical, and sociopolitical contexts of the early modern era. This volume provides deep insights into the heated controversies of the period. Readers will find analysis of the anti-theatrical debate, Machiavellian ideology, and the legitimacy of sectarian violence. The collection also addresses social themes such as the relations between parents and children and the discourse of addiction. By studying Marlowe's polysemous influence, this book offers a clear view of his impact on the theater of his own time and subsequent eras. It is an essential resource for students and scholars of performing arts and playwriting who want to understand how Marlowe's plays functioned within his historical environment.
