This unique anthology offers a more comprehensive look at the poems of Christopher Marlowe, England's first great poet and playwright.

<B>Christopher Marlowe</B> (1564-1593) was born in Canterbury the year of Shakespeare&rsquo;s birth.  He wrote seven plays--the dates of which are uncertain--before he was yet again in legal difficulties: he was arrested in 1593, accused of atheism. He was not imprisoned, and before his case could be decided he was dead, having been stabbed in a tavern while quarreling over the bill.
