Items related to Dr Faustus 1604-Version
Marlowe's Doctor Faustus is one of the classics of English literature; its imaginative boldness and vertiginous ironies have fascinated readers and playgoers alike. But the fact that this play exists in two quite different early versions, printed in 1604 and 1616, has posed formidable problems for textual scholars and critics. How much of either version was written by Marlowe, and which version is the more authentic? Is the play orthodox or radically interrogative?
Although recent studies have shown that much of the 1616 texts consists of revisions carried out a decade after Marlowe's death, and that the 1604 play is closer to the play's original form, most other editions are still based upon the 1616 text. Michael Keefer's 1604 version edition takes account of recent developments in textual criticism and literary theory, and offers an aesthetically more satisfying text. Keefer's introduction reconstructs the Renaissance ideological concepts that shaped and deformed Doctor Faustus, and the text is accompanied by collations, textual and explanatory notes, and excerpts from sources.
