Conquest and ambition in Renaissance dramatic verse.

If you're drawn to the grandeur and eloquence of the English Renaissance, or if you have an appetite for historical characters who are as flawed as they are fascinating, then Marlowe's "Tamburlaine" is a must-read. It's a window into the birth of modern drama, showcasing thrilling theatrical excess and profound character study in equal measure. This is not just a journey through history; it's a deep dive into the human spirit's darkest ambitions and the inevitable fall that often follows.

Description

One of the smash hits of the late 1580s and 90s, Tamburlaine established blank verse as the poetic line of English Renaissance drama, Edward Alleyn as the first English star actor, and Marlowe as one of the foremost playwrights of his time. The rise and fall of a Scythian peasant-warrior who conquers the Middle East and is struck down by illness after burning the books of the Koran is presented in two parts crammed with theatrical splendour and equally spectacular cruelty. Marlowe's original audiences were delighted with the blasphemous and ruthlessly ambitious hero; the introduction to this edition discusses the problems that such a character poses for modern audiences and highlights the undercurrents of the play that lead towards a more ironic interpretation.
