El Renacimiento oscuro : La turbulenta vida del gran rival de Shakespeare

Poor, a spy, a transgressor, a genius. Stephen Greenblatt, author of The Swerve, reveals the fascinating and subversive life of Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare's inspiration and rival. In an Elizabethan England stifled by repression, censorship, and fear, the son of a Canterbury shoemaker managed to escape his fate through words. Gifted with a prodigious ear for Latin poetry that would open the doors to visionary imagination, beauty, transgressive desire, and a dangerous skepticism, Marlowe spearheaded a spectacular explosion in English literature, language, and culture that would pave the way for the success of many others, including his young collaborator William Shakespeare.
