Reviews
'A much-needed scholarly study, highlighting Marlowe's commitment to ideas of 'liberty'. Tracing the influence of republican thought from 1570s France, Netherlands and Scotland, it convincingly defines Marlowe's work as an expression of 'linguistic' and 'imaginative' republicanism, bringing his better-known texts into fruitful dialogue with unjustly overlooked works, such as the translation of Book One of Lucan's Pharsalia .' - Cathy Shrank, University of Sheffield

Synopsis
Marlowe's Republican Authorship: Lucan, Liberty, and the Sublime is the first attempt to situate Marlowe's well-known iconoclastic dissidence within the historical context of Elizabethan republican thought, revealing Marlowe to be the literary pioneer of a new form of republican art., Marlowe's Republican Authorship: Lucan, Liberty, and the Sublime is the first attempt to situate Marlowe's iconoclastic dissidence within the context of Elizabethan republican thought. Recent studies locate Sidney, Spenser, Shakespeare, and Jonson within this context, but not Marlowe. The primary rationale for filling the gap comes from Marlowe's translation of Book 1 of Lucan's Pharsalia , the central poem of the republican imagination. Not simply does Marlowe build the Lucanian battle between Republic and Empire into his plays, but in each he foregrounds Lucan's achievement: out of the imperial narrative of defeated liberty, he invents a poetics of the sublime. Marlowe's commitment to liberty and the sublime has long been understood as the apex of his achievement, but Cheney's book is the first to contextualize both in terms of Lucan's haunting republican poem. The book demonstrates that he is the literary pioneer of a Lucanian republican authorship in English. Like Lucan, Marlowe makes the freedom-seeking author of the sublime the imagined leader of a new republican art., Marlowe's Republican Authorship: Lucan, Liberty, and the Sublime is the first attempt to situate Marlowe's well-known iconoclastic dissidence within the historical context of Elizabethan republican thought, revealing Marlowe to be the literary pioneer of a new form of republican art., This book argues broadly that any historical narrative about republicanism needs to place Marlowe at the front of its genealogy, and that his interest in republican ideals is sustained from the beginning to the end of his meteoric career. More specifically, this study will nonetheless argue that it is difficult to discern a clear republican form of government in Marlowe's works. What we can discern is 'republican representation', the author's representational foregrounding of his own republican frame of art. This study is the first to situate the complex Marlowe corpus within the context of the advent of English Republicanism.

    Made offer and received quick counteroffer from Catherine. We established a fair price and book was nicely packed and sent on its way. Was as described. Like all previous purchases from Midtown Scholar Bookstore, this was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend doing business with this firm! (Have lost count how many books I have purchased from this firm, but my opinion is based on numerous buys.)
