| Course Description | This seminar course will take a deep dive into the complete works of Christopher Marlowe, the short-lived but massively influential playwright and poet of the 1580s and 1590s. Marlowe is best known for his innovative plays, including Tamburlaine (in two parts), The Jew of Malta, Doctor Faustus, and Edward II. We will examine these alongside the lesser known The Massacre at Paris and Dido Queen of Carthage, his poetry (including the erotic “epyllion” Hero and Leander), his translations from Lucan and Ovid, and the archival traces of his controversial life. Admission to the seminar will be by application; preference will be given to English majors in their senior and junior years, but all are welcome to apply. |
