About this title: Marlowe's seven plays dramatise the fatal lure of potent forces, whether religious, occult or erotic. In the victories of Tamburlaine, Faustus' 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.

"Revisiting my college books again! Marlowe seemed a bit more accessible than Shakespeare, and it's a pity he died before he found his full potential."
"Marlowe is great, he's a lot of fun; but how anyone could imagine that he was the person who wrote Shakespeare's plays (a popular theory for a while) is beyond belief. Marlowe just isn't in the same league as Shakespeare. It's like comparing Donovan and Bob Dylan. Donovan's nice, but he ain't Bob Dylan; and Marlowe ain't Shakespeare."
