The Complete Plays

Potent dramas of power, religion, and desire.

This book is a great read for lovers of thought-provoking and thrilling plays. Marlowe's characters are complex, his themes deep, and his writing is compelling. Tamburlaine is a standout, showcasing how power can corrupt even the most virtuous, while Faustus's story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of overreaching, a timeless warning of the perils of man's insatiable curiosity. Overall, this is a collection that is perfect for readers looking to be moved, thrilled, and challenged.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The complete plays of Christopher Marlowe, in which the lure of dark forces drives the shifting balances between weak and strong, sacred and profane. Marlowe's seven plays dramatise the fatal lure of potent forces, whether religious, occult or erotic. In the victories of Tamburlaine, Faustus's encounters with the demonic, the irreverence of Barabas in The Jew of Malta, and the humiliation of Edward II in his fall from power and influence, Marlowe explores the shifting balance between power and helplessness, the sacred and its desecration.
