{"product_id":"the-complete-plays-of-christopher-marlowe","title":"The Complete Plays of Christopher Marlowe","description":"\u003cp\u003eChristopher Marlowe lived a life that echoed the violence in his plays. He was born in 1564 and was murdered in 1593 in what is speculated to be a political assassination. An educated man, he received both his B. A. and M. A. at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where it is believed that he wrote Part I of \"Tamberlaine,\" and possibly \"Dido Queen of Carthage.\" Machiavellian themes are present in much of Marlowe's work, the main characters constantly involved in a tumultuous upward climb toward unattainable infinite success. Marlowe's perhaps greatest legacy was introducing blank verse into English theatre with \"Tamburlaine The Great, Part I.\" This collection includes: \"Dido Queen of Carthage,\" \"Tamburlaine, Parts I \u0026amp; II,\" \"The Jew of Malta,\" \"The Massacre At Paris,\" \"Edward The Second,\" \"The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus,\" \"The First Book of Lucan,\" \"Ovid's Elegies,\" and \"Hero and Leander.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christopher Marlowe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":54663099023584,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0330\/3125\/8248\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-03at3.18.45PM.png?v=1788459542","url":"https:\/\/agricola-street-books.myshopify.com\/fr\/products\/the-complete-plays-of-christopher-marlowe","provider":"Agricola Street Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
