- Title
'AND ALMOST TO THE VERY WALLES OF ROME': 2 TAMBURLAINE, II.i.9.
- Authors
Hutchings, Mark
- Abstract
This article focuses on the book "Tamburlaine," by Christopher Marlowe. "Tamburlaine" plays, figuratively speaking, are perhaps the most geographically and geo-politically extensive of the era; indeed, this urge to conquer is exemplified in Tamburlaine's final scene, when, beckoning his sons, he calls for a map. For recent critics Marlowe's Tamburlaine has exemplified early modern adventurism, the charismatic hero standing for the early venture capitalist, imperialist, tyrant, or, conversely, rebel. The scholarly detective work, which has uncovered Marlowe's likely, sources occasionally meets head on with theoretical or critical perspectives, which can further elucidate a textual crux.
