Om författaren
Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury, England on February 6, 1564. He received a B.A. in 1584 and an M.A. in 1587 from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. His original plans for a religious career were put aside when he decided to become a poet and playwright. His earliest work was translating visa mer Lucan and Ovid from Latin into English. He translated Vergil's Aeneid as a play. His plays included Tamburlaine the Great, Faustus, The Jew of Malta, and Dido, Queen of Carthage. His unfinished poem Hero and Leander was published in 1598. In 1589, he and a friend killed a man, but were acquitted on a plea of self-defense. His political views were unorthodox, and he was thought to be a government secret agent. He was arrested in May 1593 on a charge of atheism. He was killed in a brawl in a Deptford tavern on May 30, 1593. (Bowker Author Biography) visa färre

- Kort biografi
- Elizabethan theatre's number two writer (after Shakespeare), Christopher Marlowe was an innovator who brought the blank verse to the stage. Marlowe is now best remembered for his plays, like Doctor Faustus and Tamburlaine, as well as his assassination at an early age, which may have been related to his working as a spy and which remains one of the big unsolved mysteries of the literary world.

Det känns dock något som mer av en pjäs än Shakespearedramerna. Visst finns det en del trådar som slutar i ingenstans, men det finns ändå en sorts enhet i handlingen och en utveckling av rollpersonerna – Edward börjar som förledd, en kung mot vilken uppror framstår som förståeligt, men slutar som nästan tragisk figur, lord Mortimer börjar som en ursäktbar upprorsman och slutar som tyrann, drottning Isabella börjar som försmådd hustru och slutar som möjligen otrogen och intrigmakerska – som inte finns hos Shakespeare, och det finns hela tiden en starkare känsla av att sen en historia, inte historia; Shakespeare kräver nästan att man redan vet vad som skall hända, Marlowe har skapat en avskild handling där sammanhang framträder av sig själva.
Likväl är det ett krönikespel, och därmed inte en riktigt lika bra pjäs som hans övriga. Det är dock fortfarande något läsvärt och helgjutet.… (mer)
