This book is the final volume of the Oxford English Texts edition of The Complete Works of Christopher Marlowe. Volume four contains the two parts of Tamburlaine the Great, edited by David Fuller, and The Massacre at Paris, edited by Edward J. Esche. It is the first time that either text has been presented in an old-spelling edition with textual annotation and a full critical commentary. Readers will find a detailed discussion of the plays' subject matter, context, textual history, interpretation, stage action, and language.

Review
`Richard Rowland's sophisticated introduction ... excellent texts for scholars of Marlowe at all levels, marrying precision and provocative readings together with appurtenant material for further analysis.' Anthony P. Bale, September 2000
`Fuller ... offers an elegant and precise reading of the play.' Anthony P. Bale, Notes and Queries, Vol.47, No.3, Sept. 00.
sensitive interpretations ... Fuller's commentary is, likewise, extensive and by far the most capacious in this group of editions. Anthony P. Bale, Notes and Queries, Vol.47, No.3, Sept. 00.
`The Massacre at Paris is probably Marlow's most neglected works ... Esche's edition provides the necessary resources in order that the intricacies of the play's history need no longer be an obstacle to is accessibility.' Anthony P. Bale, Notes and Queries, Vol.47, No.3, Sept. 00.
