by Christopher Marlowe (Author), Christopher Marlowe (Author), James R. Siemon (Editor)
This title is from the series of paperback editions of classic plays which provide the texts, notes and critical material for A-Level and university students, but are also suitable for the general reader. The introductions place the plays in their historical, social and theatrical context; commentary notes give information on language and staging. This is a new edition of "The Jew of Malta", the play which the modern theatre has rediscovered as a masterpiece of dark comedy. It is accepted as a key play of the Elizabethan age, and is seen to be topical in its concern with international politics.
