Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Christopher Marlowe: Selected; With a Prefatory Notice, Biographical and Critical Yet, if we have gratitude for Marlowe, the worker, we have enthusiasm for Marlowe, the poet. All that he did was done unconsciously; it was done by virtue of the tremendous poetic force within him We cannot too highly rate such poetic force: in this worn-out, languid age of ours it is rare. Marlowe´s freshness, energy, passion, are qualities that our dramatic literature will never again possess in an equal degree. It may be pessimistic to affirm it, yet, as there can never be another Shakespeare, so there can never be another Marlowe - never another dramatist of ours just so brimful of poetic strength and promise. For his rich possessions let us prize him - for his stupendous force and fire, for having in him germs such as those that gave us a Shakespeare, for having in him, as Drayton has grandly said - "Those brave translunary things That the first poets had; his raptures were All air and fire, which made his verses clear; For that fine madness still he did retain Which rightly should possess a poet´s brain."
