The Complete Works of Christopher Marlowe: Volume III: Edward II [Hardcover]

Christopher Marlowe (Author), Richard Rowland (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 12, 1995 | ISBN-10: 0198122780 | ISBN-13: 978-0198122784 | Edition: First Edition

The first full critical edition of Marlowe's highly controversial Edward II for twenty-five years, Richard Rowland's scholarly edition presents an old-spelling text which adheres more closely to the first quarto than any prior edition. A full commentary and introduction contextualize the play and give an entirely original account of the relationship between the play, Marlowe's own age, and events which immediately followed it.

This review is from: The Complete Works of Christopher Marlowe: Volume II: Dr. Faustus (Hardcover)

well i thought that the book was good, and even though it was introduced to me in high school, i think that maybe it is for the more mature crowd. if you can get passed the text then you will really enjoy the book. it is best to read the book along with its footnotes. not only is it a little easier on the reader, but it is also more enjoyable when you can actually understand what it is you are reading. but over all the book was excellent. i think of it as one of marlowe's greatest works.
