Notes
|
- Marlow was a poet and a playwright.
- He was born in Canterbury and went
to Cambridge University.
- It is thought he was a government agent
(a secret agent).
- He was involved in the death of a man
but was cleared of a charge of murder.
- He wrote 'Tamburlaine' written in 1857
and 'Doctor Faustus' written in 1594.
- Marlowe was a very clever writer, his
plays have a lot of emotion.
- He was a rival of William
Shakespeare.
- He was killed in a tavern brawl at
the age of 29.
- It is possible he was killed because
he was an agent!
