- Title
`INVIROND ROUND WITH AYRIE MOUNTAINE TOPS': MARLOWE'S SOURCE FOR DOCTOR FAUSTUS.
- Authors
Jones, John Henry
- Abstract
The article focuses on the brief description of character Faust's world tour in scene vii of the book "Doctor Faustus," which has long been used as evidence that dramatist Christopher Marlowe used the English Faust Book (EFB) as his main source, rather than the German Faust Book of 1587. The EFB contains additional descriptive material which Marlowe draws upon. One crucial result has emerged from a bibliographic study of the early editions of the EFB, in particular, of the 1608 and 1610 editions.
