Beschrijving

Christopher Kit Marlowe (baptised 26 February 1564 – 30 May 1593) was a prominent English dramatist, poet, and translator of the Elizabethan era.

This play is widely regarded as a significant influence on Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The narrative begins with a prologue delivered by Machiavel, a ghostly figure inspired by Niccolò Machiavelli, who sets the stage for the tragedy of a Jew. (summary by Wikipedia) Thomas Heywood, a contemporary dramatist, also contributed Prologues and Epilogues tailored for both court performances and the Cock-Pit theatre, proclaiming, …making choice of you unto whom to devote it. (summary by David Lawrence)
