This New Mermaids anthology brings together the four most popular and widely studied of Christopher Marlowe's plays: *Tamburlaine* , Parts 1 and 2, *The Jew of Malta, Edward II* and *Dr Faustus*. The new introduction by Brian Gibbons explores the plays in the context of early modern theatre, culture and politics, as well as examining their language, characters and themes. On-page commentary notes guide students to a better understanding and combine to make this an indispensable student edition ideal for study and classroom use.
