Christopher Marlowe

Christopher Marlowe (baptised 26 February 1564 – 30 May 1593) was an English Elizabethan dramatist, poet, and translator. Marlowe was the foremost Elizbethan writer of tragedies prior to Shakespeare, and he has been proposed by some as the true author of Shakespeare's plays.

Marlowe's chief works are:

  • Tamburlaine, part 1 (c.1587)
  • Tamburlaine, part 2 (c.1587)
  • Doctor Faustus (c.1589, possibly revised c.1592)
  • The Jew of Malta (c.1589)
  • Edward II (c.1592)
  • The Massacre at Paris (c.1593)

Poetry

  • Translation of Lucan's Pharsalia (date unknown)
  • Translation of Ovid's Elegies (c. 1580s?)
  • The Passionate Shepherd to His Love (1590s)
  • Hero and Leander (c. 1593, unfinished; completed by George Chapman, 1598)
