dirac Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Daniel Swift reviews two new books, one non-fiction, one fiction, on the life of the playwright Christopher Marlowe, for The Nation: http://www.thenation.com/doc.mhtml?i=20050321&s=swift It is precisely this combination of ordinary and extraordinary activities [of Marlowe’s career], played out in a single life, that makes Marlowe a fascinating, and yet impossible, biographical subject. He also mentions that two new biographies of Shakespeare are in the works. Link to comment
