○科目サブタイトル

Understanding Christopher Marlowe

○講義概要

Marlowe's work is rich in enigmas, and its subversive and anarchic side has been much appreciated in recent years. Reading his plays in chronological order we shall seek to understand his moral and political attitudes, and the secret of his impact on the Elizabethans (particularly the young Shakespeare) and on our own contemporaries. We shall study "Tamburlaine the Great", "The Jew of Malta", "Dr Faustus" and "Edward II".
