Description
This edition of Doctor Faustus features annotated versions of two key texts: Marlowe's 1604 A-text and his source, the English Faust Book, a translation of the Historia von Johann Fausten published in Frankfurt in 1587. The book provides insight into Marlowe's brief career and the social and political climate in which Doctor Faustus was staged.
The introduction by David Wootton explores the interpretive significance of variations between the A and B texts, as well as the ways in which Marlowe used his source to craft a drama that presents orthodox Christian teaching while still featuring a character with memorable lines. This edition offers a unique perspective on one of Shakespeare's most complex plays.
