Besides the poor record keeping of his era and the low esteem in which playwrights were held, the murkiness of his life is further compounded by slanders and disinformation advertised in the wake of his passing by Puritan detractors, rivals, and ideological opponents. However, because his name is usually considered second only to that of William Shakespeare in English drama, it is only natural to want to examine the circumstances that contributed to the formation of his classic literature. Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury on 6 February 1564, only a few months before William Shakespeare. He came from a similar tradesman’s background – where Shakespeare’s father was a wheelwright, Marlowe’s father was a tanner. There were also similar histories of the writers’ mothers marrying below theirstation. Shakespeare’s mother, Mary Arden, was a gentleman’s daughter; likewise, Katherine Arthur, probably a clergyman’s daughter, married John Marlowe despite his being of the working class (Bakeless 13).

"And shall I die, and this unconquered?": Marlowe's Inverted Colonialism Lisa Hopkins Sheffield Hallam University L.M.Hopkins@shu.ac.uk Hopkins, Lisa. "'And shall I die, and this unconquered?': Marlowe's Inverted Colonialism." Early Modern Literary Studies http://purl.oclc.org/emls/02-2/hopkmarl.html Critical attention has often been drawn to Christopher Marlowe's choices of exotic, far-flung locations for the adventures of his heroes, and also to the ways in which Marlowe's fictional world intersects with actual Renaissance geographical discoveries and attitudes. Tamburlaine Doctor Faustus The Jew of Malta and Dido, Queen of Carthage are not only set abroad; they all dramatise (or, in the case of Doctor Faustus , pointedly allude to) that typical Renaissance act, colonisation. In this essay, I want to focus on two linked, and richly suggestive, elements of Marlowe's depiction of what it is like to travel "in another country"the first is the plays' emphasis on female as well as male experiences and values and, the second, their reversal of the processes normally inherent in the possessing colonialist gazeto make it clear that the alien object at which we think we stare in fact reflects us back to ourselves, and illuminates the stranger within us. In the prologue to the first part of Tamburlaine the Great we are immediately informed of Tamburlaine's racial origin: he is a Scythian. In Elizabethan ideology, the term Scythian demarcated an absolute otherness, a being so sharply inferior to civilised Western man that his very membership of the same species was open to doubt:

Marlowe, Christopher From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Christopher Columbus) Next (Christopher Okigbo) An anonymous portrait, often believed to show Christopher Marlowe. Christopher ("Kit") Marlowe (baptized February 26, 1564 – May 30, 1593) was an English dramatist, poet, and translator of the Elizabethan era. Marlowe is considered to be the only playwright of the Elizabethan period whose talents were equal to those of William Shakespeare . Were it not for his untimely death at an early age, some speculate that it might be Marlowe—and not Shakespeare—who would have garnered the reputation as the single greatest writer in the English language. Marlowe is known to have pioneered all of the traditions of the Elizabethan stage. Marlowe was the first writer to introduce blank verse (that is, unrhymed iambic pentameter) to the modern English language, and it was by borrowing and imitating the traditions Marlowe introduced that Shakespeare Milton , and all the other great epic dramatists of England would find their own poetic voices. As an educated man of ideas closely connected to the court (some have speculated that Marlowe may have been a secret agent of the queen), Marlowe was the most cerebral poet and playwright of his day. His plays can at times seem to be incredibly spare, without any of the exhaustive decorousness we expect from an Elizabethan. In this sense he reads, as Shakespeare, like a strikingly modern writer. Marlowe is not so much interested in the conventions of classical theater as he is in the minds of his characters and the ideas that they confront. In

33. Math And Culture Lesson April 14 Background information. http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/MathCulture/4-14.html

April 14, 1997 Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus Background: Marlowe Christopher Marlowe, the first master of blank verse, was born in 1564, and lived for twenty nine intriguing years The son of a shoemaker, he attended Cambridge University on a scholarship from the Archbishop of Canterbury, where he earned a Bachelor's degree. The scholarship had been given with the understanding that Marlowe would become a minister, but Marlowe seems to have had other ideas. Cambridge awarded him a M.A., but only at the behest of the Queen's Privy Council, possibly as part of his compensation for espionage conducted on the continent. He then left Cambridge to write plays for the blossoming theaters of London. A member of the School of Night, along with Sir Walter Raleigh and the mathematician John Dee, Marlowe was also suspected of homosexuality and atheism, and was actually picked up and questioned about the latter just days before his death in a barroom brawlwhich itself has led to speculation about assassinationin 1593. A sampling of the words others claimed to be Marlowe's: Them that love not tobacco and boys are fools.
