Christopher Marlowe’s "Doctor Faustus": Retellings of the 1604 A-Text And the 1616 B-Text
Publisher Description
Doctor Faustus writes a deed of gift of his soul to Lucifer in return for twenty-four years of having a demon to be his servant and do whatever he says. For twenty-four years, Faustus enjoys himself, playing tricks and enjoying the company of important rulers. But now the twenty-fours are coming to an end. A Good Angel tries to get Faustus to repent, but a Bad Angel tells Faustus that he cannot repent. At the stroke of twelve, Lucifer will carry Faustus' soul to Hell. The clock strikes one ….
DOCTOR FAUSTUS was printed in two versions: one in 1604 and one in 1616. This volume contains easy-to-read retellings of both versions.
