A fine madness
Judd, Alan, 1946-2021
Audiobooks
Christopher Marlowe, Shakespeare's exact contemporary and sometime collaborator, was the leading playwright of his day whose dramatic verse and themes - political power, the power of love and the route to damnation - transformed English theatre. His Doctor Faustus was the first great dramatic rendering of the Faust legend. Probably an atheist, probably a spy and possibly gay, he lived and wrote as a literary Caravaggio until killed in a knife-fight he had himself provoked, aged 29. Alan Judd's perfectly poised and breathtakingly suspenseful novel subtly delineates the strands of that life, physical and spiritual, showing how they coalesce in a death that remains mysterious and controversial.
