## Overview

This used edition of *Doctor Faustus: With The English Faust Book* (Hackett Classics) offers Marlowe's original A-text alongside the complementary English Faust Book, enriched by a scholarly introduction from David Wootton. Highly rated and ranked in literary criticism categories, it’s a must-have for serious students and collectors seeking a deep dive into classic English drama.

## Description

This edition of Doctor Faustus features annotated versions, with modernized spelling and punctuation, of the 1604 A-text and the 1592 text of Marlowe's source, the English Faust Book --a translation of the best-selling Historia von Johann Fausten published in Frankfurt in 1587, which recounts the strange story of Doctor John Faustus and his pact with the spirit Mephistopheles. David Wootton's Introduction charts Marlowe's brief, meteoric career; the delicate social and political climate in which Doctor Faustus was staged and the vexed question of the religious sensibilities to which it may have catered; the interpretive significance of variations between the A and B texts; and the shrewd and subversive uses to which Marlowe put the English Faust Book in crafting, according to Wootton, a drama in which orthodox Christian teaching triumphed, but in which Faustus has all the best lines.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly what I was looking for
*by E***E on May 21, 2019*

This book is exactly what I was looking for to use for a school project. The book arrived in great condition. The edges were a little worn, though. The book contains the A-text version of Marlowe's Doctor Faustus along with a very interesting introduction by editor David Wootton. It also contains The English Faust Book. This was a very interesting read and definitely worth the money.
