Summary:
Tamburlaine
the
Great
is a play in
two
parts (
Tamburlaine
the
Great
,
Part
One
and
Part
Two
) by Christopher Marlowe. Written in 1587 or 1588, these are the first plays that Christopher Marlowe wrote for London's new open-air public playhouses. Loosely based historical biographies, they trace the progress of Timur the Lame (1336-1405), warlord of a nomadic tribe based in what is now Uzbekistan, who calls himself the Sword of Islam and "scourge[s] kingdoms with his conquering sword." The plays began Marlowe's brief career as a public theatre dramatist with a bang: the brutally masculine and martial main character immediately captured audiences, and the plays were widely imitated and parodied. Even four hundred years later, Marlowe's
Tamburlaine
remains a shocking and seductive figure. The introduction and historical appendices to this new Broadview Edition provide many avenues for readers to understand these plays, presenting other portrayals of Islam from the period, related lives of
Tamburlaine
from other writers, and material on Marlowe's scandalous reputation.
