Number eighteen in NHB's Drama Classics Series, providing the world's great drama at a great price.
The introduction to this edition of Doctor Faustus includes a short biography of Christopher Marlowe and chronology of his work; a guide to what happens in the play; a history of the play and its context; and an exploration of the main themes.
Based on the Faust story, in which a man sells his soul to the devil for power and knowledge, Doctor Faustus has always been controversial due to its interest in devilry and demonic themes. It was and remains one of the most influential works of art in this area, asking how far man can truly fall.

Review:
Although the play is 400 years old, it seems so completely contemporary...a modern tragedy or a morality play? It cleverly manages to be both. --British Theatre Guide
Book Description:
A modern retelling of Marlowe's play
