Description
Christopher Marlowe: A Renaissance Life
This biography reconstructs the life of a radically innovative playwright who flourished briefly and died violently over 400 years ago. Constance Brown Kuriyama's new study supplements existing findings with new material, placing Marlowe in his historical context.
The author interprets Marlowe's acts of violence as logical consequences of the circumstances he faced, revealing a fully human figure within the constraints of Elizabethan society and culture.
