About The Book
Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus remains one of the most influential and captivating works of Elizabethan theatre. This fully re-edited, modernised text, part of the New Mermaids edition, includes the complete play along with insightful commentary and annotations to help readers navigate the rich historical and literary contexts that have shaped its legacy.
Written by Marlowe, one of the most important playwrights of the era, Doctor Faustus combines theological depth with slapstick humor, making it a timeless exploration of ambition, damnation, and the human condition. This edition not only provides the complete play but also features a detailed plot summary, a comprehensive introduction, and an annotated bibliography for further reading. The text is enhanced with a special focus on key moments in its performance history, including Orson Welles's famous 1937 portrayal of Faustus and recent productions at The Globe and the RSC.
Whether you're a student, scholar, or theatre enthusiast, this edition is an invaluable resource for understanding Marlowe’s masterpiece and its impact on both literature and performance.
