The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus

The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus is a play by
Christopher Marlowe, based on the Faust story, in which a man sells his soul to
the devil for power and knowledge. Doctor Faustus was first published in 1604,
eleven years after Marlowe's death and at least twelve years after the first
performance of the play.
