Marlowe - Soul'd to the Devil by D Lawrence-Young
In ‘Marlowe - Soul’d to the Devil’, you will read how this ambitious Divinity student from Canterbury and Cambridge became a poet and playwright as well as Shakespeare’s most serious rival. Moving from Cambridge to London, Marlowe writes smash-hit plays, erotic poetry and also acts as an informer for Queen Elizabeth’s spymaster, Walsingham. As such he is also sent to France and Holland to spy on the queen’s potential enemies. However, back home, despite his success with ‘Tamburlaine’ and ‘Doctor Faustus’, he makes some powerful enemies through his unconventional views and alleged sexual preferences. As a result his meteoric career crashes in an unexpected way.
D. Lawrence-Young has written twenty-five crime and historical novels which have been published in the UK, USA and Israel. He loves researching and writing about history and the Elizabethan theatre which has led to him writing four novels about Shakespeare. He has been fascinated by Marlowe since he first read 'Doctor Faustus' many years ago. When not writing, he loves lecturing and travelling to the places which form the backgrounds to his novels.
