Marlowe and Shakespeare

The book delves into the literary reception of Marlowe and Shakespeare, analyzing how their works have been discussed together over four centuries. It starts with Robert Greene's 1592 remarks and explores various critical discourses and artistic productions up to the post-9/11 and 7/7 periods. By avoiding the notion of rivalry, the study highlights the interplay between the two playwrights and their enduring impact on literature and culture.
