The book explores Christopher Marlowe’s play, "Tamburlaine", in terms of rhetorical devices which contributed to the creation of one of the greatest plays of Elizabethan period. Marlowe’s writing is representative of the spirit of the Elizabethan literature in his attitude towards religion, his choice of writing style and in the metre that he used. His “mighty line,” as Ben Jonson called it, established blank verse as the standard for later writing. The play presents the rise to power and the mysterious end of the bloody Tamburlaine. Marlowe’s art consists in his ability to mix poetry and his view on the tragic hero who is presented from several angles, revealing both the brutality and the greatness of the character.

My main research interests are in languages, linguistic theory, stylistics (with a focus on theatre), TEFL and the interaction of Business English with other areas.
