Book Excerpt: 
. . .Him will we— Pointing to his Sworde. But first lets follow those in France. That hinder our possession to the crowne: As Caesar to his souldiers, so say I: Those that hate me, will I learn to loath. Give me a look, that when I bend the browes, Pale death may walke in furrowes of my face: A hand, that with a graspe may gripe the world, An eare, to heare what my detractors say, A royall seate, a scepter and a crowne: That those which doe behold them may become As men that stand and gase against the Sunne. The plot is laide, and things shall come to passe, Where resolution strives for victory. Exit.

I was going to have a look at both of these plays as a whole, but it appears that both of these plays are in fact a ten act play divided into two parts. This seemed to also be something of a debate with some of Shakespeare's plays, however the ones tha

Though Marlowe's abilities have often been somewhat exaggerated, it must be admitted that this is perhaps the finest non-Shakespearean Elizabethan play. The verse sings forth with unbridled vigor, and though the plot is so sprawling so as to verge on overblown tedium, it makes for an absorbing read.

Christopher Marlowe is one of the most influential writers who ever lived. The first great Elizabethan playwright—if Shakespeare is The Beatles, astonishing in range, quality, sheer invention, and fame, Marlowe is inventing rock’n’roll. Marlowe was the first English writer, Tamburlaine the first Eng

Lo spregiudicato, maledetto, dissoluto ed avventuroso Marlowe non avrebbe potuto incarnarsi in un personaggio più che nel suo Tamerlano, il grande condottiero vissuto nel XIV secolo, colui che assoggettò quasi interamente l'Asia ai suoi piedi, salvo morire improvvisamente nel suo apogeo. Nella trage

Read this one for uni - not really my kind of thing, but I managed to get into the first half. It was interesting seeing the story of a tyrant, with no excuses made over his awfulness and his violence shown in full course. It's a brutal story, one full of bloody scenes, but it appe

Like his desire, lift upwards and divine

Tamburlaine is epic and merciless. Kit gave us an orientalist paen, but one woven with gilded verse, an elevating counterpoint to the interminable bloodshed. Marlowe’s canvas is vast, as the dying Tamburlaine commands: Give me a map. The extant world systems

"TAMERLÁN EL GRANDE" de Cristopher Marlowe
"¡Guarda tu honor! ¡Pues hace mucho no sabías lo que quería decir!"
Estoy muy feliz de haber terminado esta obra que consta de dos partes (la segunda a pedido del público) pues ya puedo decir que he leído todas las tragedias de este gran dramaturgo isabelino.
