The book brings together a number of scholarly and stimulating essays by some of the leading critics in the field … this volume will doubtless serve as a work of reference on Marlowe for many years to come. … I warmly recommend the collection for academic libraries and students of Marlovian studies: the Companion provides an absorbing introduction for readers new to Marlowe's works, but also a good source of reference for those already more engaged with the Marlovian tradition.'

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.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e1.
