This new edition of Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus presents the complete 1604 A-text, accompanied by embedded selections from the 1616 B-text. Its innovative format aims to facilitate a clearer understanding of the differences between these texts and encourage readers to contemplate the advantages and disadvantages of viewing them both separately and in conjunction. To enhance the value of this edition for students of Renaissance drama, Reformation theology, magic, and occult philosophy, a comprehensive Introduction to the play, detailed notes, and a diverse selection of related texts have been included.
The 1604 A-text of Doctor Faustus, which is presented in this new edition, represents the original version of the play that was published during Marlowe's lifetime. It includes all the text that was included in the first edition of 1592, as well as additional material that was later added. The 1616 B-text, on the other hand, is a later edition that was published after Marlowe's death. It contains additional scenes and lines that were not included in the A-text, but it also includes some errors and inconsistencies.
One of the key features of this edition is its innovative format, which makes it easier for readers to compare and contrast the two texts. Each page of the A-text is accompanied by a corresponding page of the B-text, allowing readers to see the differences side by side. Additionally, the introduction provides a detailed overview of the play, its historical context, and its critical reception. It also includes notes that provide further insight into the text, its characters, and its themes.
In addition to the A-text and B-text, this edition also includes a rich selection of related texts that will be of interest to students of Renaissance drama, Reformation theology, magic, and occult philosophy. These include works by other playwrights.
