Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
Prize: Winner of the 2009 Roma Gill Prize, awarded by the Marlowe Society of America Prize: A Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2007 '... A definitive, wide-ranging study...the author intelligently explores the whole idea of sources, influences, and intertextuality...provides the reader with rich insights into both Shakespeare and Marlowe.' Maurice Charney, Rutgers University and author of Love and Lust in Shakespeare '... well worth reading for its provision of much fresh material for further discussion.' Times Literary Supplement 'Lucid and well written, this study enriches understanding of both playwrights, and it is must reading for anyone with an interest in Marlowe or Shakespeare. Essential.' Choice 'As well as being scrupulous in its distinctions, the book is well researched... Another strength is that [Logan] offers often very sensitive readings of the texts of both authors... He is also very witty... Logan's sustained comparison of the two writers reaches some surprising conclusions... this is a sound, scholarly, and valuable book.' Notes and Queries 'Logan has indeed found new things to say about the long-standing issue of the nature of Shakespeare's debt to Marlowe, and the intertextual analyses in Shakespeare's Marlowe shed helpful light upon the texts of both playwrights.' Journal of British Studies '... Logan's book is likely to become a standard work on the subject.' Medieval and Renaissance Drama in England '... [Logan's] book opens up new ways of thinking about the creative relationship between these two dramatists.' Early Modern Literary Studies Read more...
