Reference Reviews

'This collection of seventeen wide-ranging essays testifies to the rich and exciting development of Marlovian studies currently taking place. The book brings together a number of scholarly and stimulating essays by some of the leading critics in the field ... this volume will doubtless serve as a work of reference on Marlowe for many years to come. ... I warmly recommend the collection for academic libraries and students of Marlovian studies: the Companion provides an absorbing introduction for readers new to Marlowe's works, but also a good source of reference for those already more engaged with the Marlovian tradition.'
