Christopher Marlowe and his associates

This volume attempts to correct some of the inconsistencies and false information that crept into Marlowe's biography following his death. It examines his life, work and the work of his contemporaries in order to get an accurate picture of the man and his creative genius. After his death, Marlowe was largely forgotten, and no major study of his poems, plays or biography was attempted until the middle of the 19th century. That critical oversight is unfortunate, because in the intervening years, critical sources were lost and unreliable ones gained traction. John H. Ingram, a preeminent scholar of Marlowe and the author of this volume, attempts to get to the heart of what made Marlowe so special compared to other Elizabethan dramatists.
