The essential lyric works of the great Elizabeth playwright-newly revised and updated

Though best known for his plays - and for courting danger as a homosexual, a spy, and an outspoken atheist - Christopher Marlowe was also an accomplished and celebrated poet.

This long-awaited edition of his poems and translations contains Marlowe's complete lyric works - from his translations of Ovidian elegies to his most famous poem, The Passionate Shepherd to His Love, to the impressive epic mythological poem 'Hero and Leander.'

This edition features a helpful timeline of Christopher Marlowe's short life and a new and illuminating introduction and notes.

About the Author

Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was born in Canterbury the year of Shakespeare's birth. He wrote seven plays--the dates of which are uncertain--before he was yet again in legal difficulties: he was arrested in 1593, accused of atheism. He was not imprisoned, and before his case could be decided he was dead, having been stabbed in a tavern while quarreling over the bill.
