{"product_id":"9781420939125","title":"The Complete Plays Of Christopher Marlowe","description":"Christopher Marlowe lived a life that echoed the violence in his plays. He was born in 1564 and was murdered in 1593 in what is speculated to be a political assassination. An educated man, he received both his B. A. and M. A. at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, where it is believed that he wrote Part I of \"Tamberlaine\", and possibly \"Dido Queen of Carthage\". Machiavellian themes are present in much of Marlowe's work, the main characters constantly involved in a tumultuous upward climb toward unattainable infinite success. Marlowe's perhaps greatest legacy was introducing blank verse into English theatre with \"Tamburlaine The Great, Part I.\" This collection includes: \"Dido Queen of Carthage\", \"Tamburlaine, Parts I \u0026amp; II\", \"The Jew of Malta\", \"The Massacre At Paris\", \"Edward The Second\", \"The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus\", \"The First Book of Lucan\", \"Ovid's Elegies\", and \"Hero and Leander\".","brand":"Neeland Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025870864624,"sku":"9781420939125","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781420939125_p0.jpg?v=1763738439","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781420939125","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
