Sobre IBD

Christopher Marlowe has provoked some of the most radical criticism of recent years. The reason suggested by this collection of essays is that Marlowe shares the post-modern preoccupation with the language of power - and the power of language itself. Gay Studies, Cultural Materialism, New Historicism and Reader Response Criticism are all represented in this selection. Many of the essays take off from Marlowe’s extreme dramatisations of arson, cruelty and aggression, suggesting why it is that the thinker who has been most convincingly applied to his theatre is the philosopher of punishment and pain, Michel Foucault. Others explore the exclusiveness of this all-male universe, and reveal why it remains so offensive and impenetrable to feminism. For what they all make disturbingly clear is Marlowe’s violent, untamed difference from the correctness of normative society.
