Synopsis Christopher Marlowe, Theatrical Commerce, and the Book Trade by : Kirk Melnikoff

Presenting the first exploration of Christopher Marlowe's complex place in the canon, this collection reads Marlowe's work against an extensive backdrop of repertory, publication, transmission, and reception. Wide-ranging and thoughtful chapters consider Marlowe's deliberate engagements with the stage and print culture, the agents and methods involved in the transmission of his work, and his cultural reception in the light of repertory and print evidence. With contributions from major international scholars, the volume considers all of Marlowe's oeuvre, offering illuminating approaches to his extended animation in theatre and print, from the putative theatrical debut of Tamburlaine in 1587 to the most current editions of his work.

Synopsis This Marlowe by : Michelle Butler Hallett

Longlisted, 2018 International DUBLIN Literary Award Long-shortlisted, 2017 ReLit Awards 1593. Queen Elizabeth reigns from the throne while two rival spymasters -- Sir Robert Cecil and the Earl of Essex -- plot from the shadows. Their goal? To control succession upon the aged queen's death. The man on which their schemes depend? Christopher Marlowe, a cobbler's son from Canterbury who has defied expectations and become an accomplished poet and playwright. Now that the plague has closed theatres, Marlowe must resume the work for which he was originally recruited: intelligence and espionage. Fighting to stay one step ahead in a dizzying game that threatens the lives of those he holds most dear, Marlowe comes to question his allegiances and nearly everything he once believed. As tensions mount, he is tossed into an impossible bind. He must choose between paths that lead either to wretched guilt and miserable death or to love and honour. An historical novel with a contemporary edge, This Marlowe measures the weight of the body politic, the torment of the flesh, and the state of the soul.

Synopsis Marlowe's Soldiers by : Alan Shepard

This title was first published in 2002: In the topsy-turvy 1580s and 1590s, as the episodic Anglo-Spanish war became the greatest threat to "English" security since circa 1066, Marlowe rose up in the London theatres like some Phaeton of the entertainment industry, taking war itself as a central subject of his art. This book reads his plays - especially "Tamburlaine", "Edward II", "The Massacre at Paris", and "Doctor Faustus" - as part of a bright new conversation then taking place in London about the nature of state security and martial law, the decorum of playing "the soldier" on stage, the rhetoric of warfever, and the necessity for draconian prescriptions about English manhood. Those public conversations, spilling out of Whitehall, the church pulpits, and the pubs, took center stage during the few years the playwright worked in London. The author argues that the Marlowe plays wrestle with the philosophical assumptions about the nature of war and the role and status of soldiers in English culture.

Synopsis Marlowe's Maverick (The Bad Boys of Hockey Romance Trilogy, Book 2) by : Rachelle Vaughn

In Marlowe’s Maverick, Rachelle Vaughn introduces Ryan, Gavin, and Coop—the sexy hockey players who despite not sharing a last name, are brothers at heart. And for Gavin Bozymowski, the thrill of a lifetime is about to arrive in a surprising package… Red Valley, California seemed like a good place for Marin Marlowe to start over and reinvent herself. Here, cleaning houses for a living, Marin scrubs toilets, washes windows, and dreams of a more meaningful relationship than the one she has with the paper towel hunk and the bald guy on the cleanser she uses. The upside of her thankless job gives her a behind-the-scenes look at Red Valley’s wealthiest residents. At Gavin Bozymowski’s house, she likes what she sees behind door number one. A peek inside his massive walk-in closet reveals rows upon rows of custom-made suits and more designer ties than she could shake her mop at. Her newest client might spend most of his time traveling, but when he’s home, Marin can’t resist the sharp-dressing, smooth-talking hockey player. After Gavin wakes up to find a gorgeous stranger standing at the foot of his bed, he wishes his heart wasn’t off limits. When Gavin shows Marin the finer things in life, she wishes she wasn’t so far out of his league—and out of his reach. A rough-and-tumble guy like Gavin giving her the romance she’s always dreamed about? Seems bizarre! Then again, crazier things have happened under the sunny California sky. Marin is sure she has no place in a community like Harlequin Hills, but Gavin knows differently. Marin belongs here with him, and convincing this sexy, stubborn woman will be a challenge no bad boy could resist…
