Christopher Marlowe
Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593) was an English playwright and poet of the Elizabethan era, known for his blank verse and overreaching protagonists. He is often considered a precursor to Shakespeare, with works like 'Doctor Faustus' and 'Tamburlaine' showcasing his exploration of ambition and the human condition. Marlowe's life was as dramatic as his plays, marked by speculation about his mysterious death and his potential involvement in espionage.
