Doctor Faustus by David Scott Kastan
This Norton Critical Edition includes: Newly edited texts of the 1604 (A-Text) and the 1616 (B-Text) versions of the play. Editorial matter by David Scott Kastan and Matthew Hunter. Sources and background materials related to Christopher Marlowe, the composition and publication of Doctor Faustus, early performance of the play, the Faust legend, and Renaissance magic, including a new selection from James I and IV’s Of Daemonologie. Eighteen critical essays: five classic assessments and—new to the Second Edition—thirteen recent interpretations. A chronology and an updated selected bibliography.
