Autoren-Porträt von Christopher Marlowe
Christopher Marlowe (baptized 26 February 1564 - 30 May 1593) was an eminent English playwright, poet, and translator of the Elizabethan era. Often considered the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day, he greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year. Marlowe's plays are known for their blank verse and overreaching protagonists. A defining work of his literary career is 'The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus' (c. 1592), which epitomizes Marlowe's signature style of grandiose characters, and preoccupation with ambition and destiny. This play, based on the German Faustbuch, tells the cautionary tale of Dr. Faustus, a scholar who sells his soul to the devil for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The thematic exploration of hubris and the complex interplay between the supernatural and human desire highlights Marlowe's fascination with Renaissance individualism. His work, known for its passionate and rhetorical language, has cemented his status as a pioneer of dramatic form and a key figure in the development of English tragedy. Marlowe's brief life, clouded by allegations of espionage and his untimely death, perhaps as mysterious as the characters he created, adds a layer of intrigue to his legacy, securing his place among the pantheon of great English literary figures.
