Book The Jew of Malta  A Critical Reader

Download or read book The Jew of Malta A Critical Reader written by Robert A. Logan and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-12-02 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Marlowe's drama, The Jew of Malta, has become an increasingly popular source for scholarly scrutiny, staged productions, and, most recently, a filmed version. The play follows the sometimes tragic, sometimes comic, often outrageous fortunes of its villainous protagonist, the Jew Barabas. In recent years the play has provoked as much interpretive controversy as any work in the Marlowe canon. This unique volume is therefore especially timely, providing fresh, varied approaches to the many enigmatic elements of the play.

Book Shakespeare  Marlow and the Politics of France

Download or read book Shakespeare Marlow and the Politics of France written by R. Hillman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-04-09 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a wide-ranging intertextual approach, Richard Hillman sets Early Modern English play-texts against political and cultural discourses concerning France, as these informed contemporary English consciousness. The English works explored go beyond those directly representing French affairs; the French examples include dramatic treatments of Joan of Arc and of the assassination of the Guises by Henri III. In addition to its fresh readings of some familiar plays, the book proposes, as unique to the English-French dynamic, a theoretical model relating history, discourse and subjectivity.

Book The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe written by Patrick Cheney and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cambridge Companion to Christopher Marlowe provides a full introduction to one of the great pioneers of both the Elizabethan stage and modern English poetry. It recalls that Marlowe was an inventor of the English history play (Edward II) and of Ovidian narrative verse (Hero and Leander), as well as being author of such masterpieces of tragedy and lyric as Doctor Faustus and 'The Passionate Shepherd to His Love'. Sixteen leading scholars provide accessible and authoritative chapters on Marlowe's life, texts, style, politics, religion, and classicism. The volume also considers his literary and patronage relationships and his representations of sexuality and gender and of geography and identity; his presence in modern film and theatre; and finally his influence on subsequent writers. The Companion includes a chronology of Marlowe's life, a note on reference works, and a reading list for each chapter.

Book Marlovian Tragedy

  • Author : Troni Y. Grande
  • Publisher : Bucknell University Press
  • Release : 1999
  • ISBN : 9780838753743
  • Pages : 240 pages

Download or read book Marlovian Tragedy written by Troni Y. Grande and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This re-visioning of the Marlowe canon aims to explain the ambiguous effects that readers have long associated with Marlowe's signature. Marlovian tragedy has been inadequately theorized because Marlowe has too often been set under the giant shadow of Shakespeare. Grande, by contrast, takes Marlowe on his own terms and demonstrates how he achieves his notorious moral ambiguity through the rhetorical technique of dilation or amplification. All of Marlowe's plays end in the conventional tragic way, with death. But each play, as well as Hero and Leander, repeatedly evokes the reader's expectations of a tragic end only to defer them, dilating the moment of pleasure so that the protagonists can dally before the "law" of tragedy.

Book Marlowe  A Critical Study

    Book Details:
  • Author : J. B. Steane
  • Publisher : CUP Archive
  • Release : 1964-01-03
  • ISBN : 9780521065450
  • Pages : 396 pages

Download or read book Marlowe A Critical Study written by J. B. Steane and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1964-01-03 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a thorough critical study of Marlowe's entire output - plays, translations and poems - prefaced by a biographical chapter. It is an attempt to provide the 'life and works' study for the general reader. Mr Steane takes the poetry as the centre of his interest; offering a literary judgement on Marlowe's art rather than further discussion of sources and background. He provides a balanced account of a great poetic dramatist, a writer of exceptional power whose poetry also reveals profound human flaws.

Book Christopher Marlowe at 450

Download or read book Christopher Marlowe at 450 written by Sara Munson Deats and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has never been a retrospective on Christopher Marlowe as comprehensive, complete and up-to-date in appraising the Marlovian landscape. Each chapter has been written by an eminent, international Marlovian scholar to determine what has been covered, what has not, and what scholarship and criticism will or might focus on next. The volume considers all of Marlowe’s dramas and his poetry, including his translations, as well as the following special topics: Critical Approaches to Marlowe; Marlowe’s Works in Performance; Marlowe and Theatre History; Electronic Resources for Marlovian Research; and Marlowe’s Biography. Included in the discussions are the native, continental, and classical influences on Marlowe and the ways in which Marlowe has interacted with other contemporary writers, including his influence on those who came after him. The volume has appeal not only to students and scholars of Marlowe but to anyone interested in Renaissance drama and poetry. Moreover, the significance for readers lies in the contributors’ approaches as well as in their content. Interest in the biography of Christopher Marlowe and in his works has bourgeoned since the turn of the century. It therefore seems especially appropriate at this time to present a comprehensive assessment of past and present traditional and innovative lines of inquiry and to look forward to future developments.

  • Publisher : iUniverse
  • Release : 2004-05

Download or read book I Am Without Love written by Estella Slattery and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We seem to constantly look for love, God's love or love for individuals. To me these pursuits are simultaneous, indistinguishable. We just go about it differently. To see God's love we pray traditionally, with learned words. To gain human love, we rampage, parade, fake modesty. I hope the reader will discover, as my characters and I have, that sometimes love surprises us.
