- Doctor Faustus
Christopher Marlowe (1564 – 1593) was a Canterbury-born poet and playwright, educated at Cambridge and employed on government business abroad before Tamburlaine (c. 1587) made blank verse the sound of the public stage. Doctor Faustus (c. 1592), The Jew of Malta and Edward II followed in quick succession; he was killed at Deptford in May 1593, aged twenty-nine, with the case still argued over four centuries later.
