<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The complete plays of Christopher Marlowe, in which the lure of dark forces drives the shifting balances between weak and strong, sacred and profane</b> <p/>Marlowe's seven plays dramatise the fatal lure of potent forces, whether religious, occult or erotic. In the victories of Tamburlaine, Faustus's encounters with the demonic, the irreverence of Barabas in <i>The Jew of Malta</i>, and the humiliation of Edward II in his fall from power and influence, Marlowe explores the shifting balance between power and helplessness, the sacred and its desecration. <p/>For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
