Were it not for his untimely death, Christopher Marlowe was destined to become one of the world’s greatest writers, with some believing he would have even eclipsed his contemporary Shakespeare. Marlowe was an enigmatic character - part poet, scholar, soldier, spy and tavern brawler - and his legend continues to elude historians. This eBook provides readers with a new and erudite edition of Marlowe’s works, offering every play, poem, translation and much more. Now you can truly own all of Marlowe’s works and a range of BONUS material on your Kindle, and all in ONE well-organised file.
