Christopher Marlowe has been hailed as the Columbus of the new literary world for his use of blank verse and “nobly planned” plays like Doctor Faustus. Inordinate thirst for “knowledge infinite” is the keynote of Faustus’s character which may have parallels with Marlowe”s own life. In this sense, the play holds a mirror to the times in which Marlowe lived and wrote. Yet the play has universal significance that accounts for its appeal and popularity down the ages. This critical study, originally prepared by Dr. Raghulkul Tilak, has now been thoroughly revised, edited and updated by Prof. Shakti Batra.
