Christopher Marlowe Christopher Marlowe (1564 - 1593) was a skillful poet and talented playwright, but nevertheless his works never managed to achieve the great recognition of that of his contemporary Shakespeare . He died young in a pub brawl. It has been suggested that Marlowe was operating as a secret agent, and that he could have been killed for what he knew about the Queen and various lords' secret doings, particularly within a clandestine organisation, The School of Night The Reckoning : The Murder of Christopher Marlowe by Charles Nicholl gives a good overview of the times and the people involved.

Cressida's Transformations - art and photography CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE 1564-1593 Sep 02, 2003 Click here to return Christopher Marlowe influenced the work of England’s greatest dramatist, William Shakespeare. For example it was Marlowe’s “Edward ll” that was a model for Shakespeare’s “Richard lll". Had he lived longer than 29 years, there is no doubt that the adventurous and unorthodox Marlowe would have rivalled Shakespeare’s place in English literature. The son of a shoemaker, Marlowe was educated at Cambridge University and like Shakespeare moved to London. There he joined a company of actors “The Admiral’s Men” for whom he wrote most of his plays. But there was a dark side to Marlowe. It is suggested that he was a spy for the government and numbered some prominent men among his friends and associates. At the age of twenty-nine, he was stabbed to death during a brawl in a tavern in Deptford over a dispute about payment of a dinner bill. The year was 1593. He had been denounced as a heretic and died before action could be taken. Perhaps Marlowe’s greatest legacy is his poem “The Passionate Shepherd” that contains the lyric: 'Come Live with Me and Be My Love'

Christopher Marlowe Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593)was the leading playwright of the English stage in the years immediately before the emergence of Shakespeare. Marlowe was educated at Cambridge, where he dabbled in theological heresies and began a career as a double agent infiltrating circles of Catholic dissent. Between 1587 and 1593 he stunned London stage audiences with spectacular dramas, including Tamburlaine Doctor Faustus The Jew of Malta Edward II , and The Massacre at Paris . He was arrested for counterfeiting, and subsequently released, only to be arrested again on suspicion of a range of behaviors including heresy and homosexuality. While under investigation, Marlowe was murdered. The killing was probably the result of a violent quarrel, but perhaps a political assassination. Shakespeare's Elizabethan plays are saturated with verbal echoes of Marlowe's poetry.

Home Ancient Theatre Medieval Theatre 16th Century ... Email Us CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE (1564-1593) T HERE can be no question of the genius of Christopher Marlowe, nor of the far-reaching effect of his work on English drama. He dared disregard the classical unities in favor of a natural unity which comes from centering the action around one great character or great passion. He created an English drama in place of a slavish imitation of Greek and Latin dramas. He was, perhaps, the pioneer who blazed a trail for that still greater English dramatist born the same year, William Shakespeare Christopher Marlowe was the son of a shoemaker. He studied at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1583. Before he received his master's degree in 1587, his greatest tragic drama had been presented on the stage. Before he finished college he had also done at least part of the work of translating Ovid's Amores into English verse.

Christopher Marlowe (1564 - 1593) BIOGRAPHIE "Le ciel lui prêta l'intelligence, l'enfer le vice". Telle était la réputation de Marlowe que Swinburne considère comme étant le plus audacieux et le plus inspiré des auteurs anglais. En fait, on connaît fort peu de détails sur sa vie si ce n'est qu'il fit des études à l'Université de Cambridge, qu'il obtint grâce à des protections le grade de docteur. Quoique très jeune, il aurait appartenu au service secret de la Reine. Il quitta Cambridge et renonça à la prêtrise pour devenir acteur et écrire des pièces de théâtre. Il eut une existence brillante et aventureuse et fut assassiné au cours d'une rixe au sujet d'une prostituée. Après sa mort, son ami Thomas Kyd avec qui il vivait fut arrêté et inculpé d'athéisme. Celui-ci pour se disculper, prétendit que tous les papiers compromettants trouvés chez lui appartenaient à Marlowe, que ce dernier proclamait : "Quiconque n'aime pas le tabac ou les garçons est un imbécile", ou encore que "Saint Jean l'Evangéliste était compagnon de lit du Christ et qu'il reposait toujours sur son sein et que Jésus usait de lui comme les pécheurs de Sodome". En fait, on n'a jamais pu prouver que Marlowe était homosexuel mais certains de ses vers le laissent à penser. Dans la pièce Edouard II, Gaveston le mignon du roi décrit avec complaisance les divertissements favoris du malheureux souverain qui mourut embroché sur une tige de fer rougie au feu:

Portals-UK.com Christopher Marlowe 1564 - 1593 The strange life of Christopher Marlowe who was killed and buried in Deptford (neighbouring Greenwich). Christopher Marlowe was born in 1564, the year of William Shakespeare' s birth. Marlowe was educated at Cambridge and was involved in difficulties there with the authorities with regard to the granting of his Master of Arts degree in 1587. It seems that Marlowe refused to take holy orders and that he was suspected of "converting" to Roman Catholicism. However, the government authorities intervened in Marlowe's behalf, and the degree was granted. Marlowe, at this time, undoubtedly was active in some form of government service. From 1587 to 1593 Marlowe wrote and produced his plays. He established himself as a major dramatist with Tamburlaine, Parts I and II, The Jew of Malta, Edward the Second, and Doctor Faustus.

While his contemporary William Shakespeare has a disappointingly ordinary life story, Marlowe's short life seems packed with excitement and danger. He was born in Canterbury, the son of a cobbler, in the same year that saw the birth of Shakespeare. After attending the King's School in Canterbury, he went to Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. His spotty attendance earned the ire of the college administration, and Marlowe very nearly did not receive a degree. The Queen's Council intervened on his behalf, defending him on the grounds that he had been in the Queen's service. Evidence suggests that Marlowe had been serving his country as a spy in Catholic France. His scholarship was in expectation that he would take holy orders, but when Marlowe left Cambridge in 1587 it was to write for the stage. Before the year ended, both parts of the masterpiece Tamburlaine were produced for the London stage. In the short six years before his death, Marlowe achieved great success.

The unmistakably allegorical action meaningfully joins the opposed worlds of eroticism and political violence. It combines elements of sexual desire and violent "policy" and juxtaposes the world of erotic freedom represented by Edward's love for Gaveston with the cynical world of power politics symbolized by the union of Mortimer and Isabella, whose love "hatcheth death and hate" (l.1801).

The sodomitical murder is not merely gratuitous violence or simply a grotesque parody of homosexual lovemaking; still less is it the embodiment of a moralistic justice, as homophobic critics have alleged. Rather, the fatal rape at once exposes the brutality of a corrupt society that values power above all else, mocks the moralists who would justify a ruthless competition of wills with preachments, and reveals the suffering king as the bare, forked animal, unaccommodated man, an emblem of shared humanity.

Born in Canterbury in the same year as Shakespeare, Marlowe was his most significant predecessor as an English playwright who was also a great poet. The son of a cobbler who earned a scholarship to Cambridge, where he received a B.A. in 1584 and an M.A. in 1587, Marlowe pursued a course of study that was designed to culminate in holy orders, yet the most profound result of his education may have been his love of classical literature, especially Ovid, whom he was to translate and whose comic ironies and worldly sophistication were to influence him greatly.

Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) Elizabethan poet, dramatist, and William Shakespeare 's predecessor in English drama, whose reputation in his lifetime wasn't as good as Shakespeare's. Christopher Marlowe was killed at the age of 29 in a tavern broil by Ingram Frizer, and buried at St. Nicholas, Deptford. His dramatic career lasted only six years. And as we all know, the English-born mystery writer Raymond Chandler lent Marlowe's name to his own hero Philip Marlowe. Come live with me, and be my love; And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, hills and fields, Woods or steepy mountain yields. (from 'The Passionate Shepherd to His Love', c. 1589) Christopher Marlowe was born in Canterbury as the son of a shoemaker. He attended the King's School and was awarded a scholarship from the foundation of Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury. Marlowe studied the Bible and the Reformation theologians as well as philosophy and history at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. In 1584 he took a degree of A.B. Instead of continuing in Cambride, Marlowe left his studies to carry out a secret mission for the government. In 1587 he took the degree of M.A. University authorities, believing he had been converted to Catholicism, were first unwilling to grant his degree. It did not help him either, that he had been away too much from his studies. When the Queen's Privy Council interceded on Marlowe's behalf, the dispute was settled.
