Summary:

Despite the modern fascination with Marlowe--particularly with his Dr. Faustus--there has been no edition of his works in the original spelling, with full textual apparatus and a detailed commentary. The Oxford English Texts Complete Works of Christopher Marlowe fills the need for a fully annotated scholarly treatment of the works. Volume I contains all his translations from classical poetry, comparing the English verse with the Latin and Greek originals. The editor discusses Marlowe's skill as a translator and his art as a poet, and provides clear explanations of all difficult expressions and obscure allusions.

Contents:

v. 1. All Ovids elegies. Lucans first booke. Dido Queene of Carthage. Hero and Leander.

v. 2. Dr. Faustus.

v. 3. Edward II.

v.4. The Jew of Malta.

v.5. Tamburlaine the Great pt.1 and 2. The massacre at Paris with the death of the Duke of Guise.
