| Found in | Nicholson, C. Uncommon tongues, 2014: ECIP galley (Christopher Marlowe's Tamburlaine the Great (1587)). Marlowe, Christopher. Tamburlaine the Greate, 1605. Wikipedia, March 19, 2018 (Tamburlaine; Tamburlaine the Great is a play in two parts by Christopher Marlowe. It is loosely based on the life of the Central Asian emperor, Timur (Tamerlane/Timur the Lame, d. 1405). Written in 1587 or 1588, the play is a milestone in Elizabethan public drama; it marks a turning away from the clumsy language and loose plotting of the earlier Tudor dramatists, and a new interest in fresh and vivid language, memorable action, and intellectual complexity; the play (in both parts) was entered into the Stationers' Register on 14 August 1590. Both parts were published together in a single black letter octavo that same year by the printer Richard Jones; its text is usually referred to as O1; although Christopher Marlowe was not actually cited as the author in the first printings of the play--no author is named--and the first clear attributions to Marlowe are much later than 1590, scholars attribute the play to Marlowe based on similarities to his other works) |
