Reviews:
Excellent set of notes...it does precisely what it says on the label...This volume opens with some 40 pages of background notes on Marlowe, Canterbury, his life and works, the basics of the Elizabethan theatre, a quick introduction to the Renaissance, magic, the Faust legend, and a critical history of the play's staging. All this is clearly laid out, concise, informative...The book now moves on to 13 pages of scene summaries - a useful set of notes to remind you of the overall structure and dynamic of thework, something you can and will refer to if you're studying the play in anydepth. Further pages explore the various characters, themes, imagery, andspecific aspects of the play, concluding with a glossary of literary terms and concepts... the book concludes with a couple of specimen essay questions... The real substance of these notes may well lie in the 60 or so pages which explore the structure and body of the play. There's certainly enough here, when taken in conjunction with you reading the text at least twice, to stimulate your knowledge and understanding of the work ...This book certainly helped me get to grips with the play.
