Were it not for his untimely death, Christopher Marlowe was destined to become one of the worldâ€™s greatest writers, with some believing he would have even eclipsed his contemporary Shakespeare.

This eBook provides readers with a new and erudite edition of Marloweâ€™s works, offering every play, poem, translation and much more. Now you can truly own all of Marloweâ€™s works and a range of BONUS material on your Kindle, and all in ONE well-organised file.
