About This Item
Bloomsbury, 2005. First American edition. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Fine (rem. dot top edge) in fine dust jacket. Hardcover. First American edition. 388 pages, with bibliography and index. A mischievous biography of Christopher Marlowe--it's starting point is the idea that Marlowe didn't die at age twenty-nine in a tavern brawl but that he staged his own death, fled to Europe,and went on to write the work attributed to Shakespeare. The author uses real historical sources (plus a healthy dose of speculation) that turns out to be a life of the Bard as well.
