Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Prejudice, the intricacies of Mediterranean politics, and Machiavellian strategy abound in this masterpiece of Elizabethan theater. The eponymous character in this suspenseful drama, a prototype for Shakespeare's Shylock, schemes desperately against Christian and Moslem hostility to cling to his wealth, his status, and his daughter.

Notă biografică

Christopher Marlowe(1564-93) was an English playwright and poet, who through his establishment of blank verse as a medium for drama did much to free the Elizabethan theatre from the constraints of the medieval and Tudor dramatic tradition. His first playTamburlaine the Great, was performed that same year, probably by the Admiral's Men with Edward Alleyn in the lead. Marlowe's most famous play,The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus, based on the medieval German legend of the scholar who sold his soul to the devil, was probably written and produced by 1590, although it was not published until 1604. Marlowe was killed in a London tavern in May 1593. Although Marlowe's writing career lasted for only six years, his four major plays make him easily the most important predecessor of Shakespeare.Chloe Kathleen Preedyis a Senior Lecturer in Shakespeare and Renaissance Literature at the University of Exeter, UK. She is the author ofMarlowe's Literary Scepticism: Politic Religion and Post-Reformation Polemic(2013), which won the Roma Gill Prize 2015, and sits on the editorial board for the journalMarlowe Studies.She is a principal investigator for the AHRC-funded projectAtmospheric Theatre: Open-Air Performance and the Environment(2018-21) and her related monograph,Theatres of the Air: Representing Aerial Environments on the Early Modern Stage, 1576-1609,is forthcoming with Oxford University Press.William H. Shermanis Director of the Warburg Institute and Professor of Cultural History in the University of London's School of Advanced Study, UK. He was founding director of the Centre for Renaissance & Early Modern Studies (CREMS) at the University of York, UK and of the V&A Research Institute (VARI) at the Victoria and Albert Museum, UK. His work on the history of books and readers includesJohn Dee: The Politics of Reading and Writing in the English Renaissance(1995) andUsed Books: Marking Readers in Renaissance England(2008). He has edited plays by Shakespeare and his contemporaries and books about them, including'The Tempest' and its Travels(co-edited with Peter Hulme, 2000), and served as Associate Editor ofShakespeare Quarterlyfor more than a decade.

A farce of terribly serious, even savage comic humour.
