This New Mermaids anthology brings together the four most popular and
widely studied of Christopher Marlowe's plays: Tamburlaine, Parts 1 and
2, The Jew of Malta, Edward II and Dr Faustus. The new introduction
by Brian Gibbons explores the plays in the context of early modern
theatre, culture and politics, as well as examining their language,
characters and themes. On-page commentary notes guide students to a
better understanding and combine to make this an indispensable student
edition ideal for study and classroom use from A Level upwards.
