Tragical History of Doctor Faustus
Introduction
The Tragical History of the Life and Death of Doctor Faustus, commonly referred to simply as Doctor Faustus, is an Elizabethan tragedy by Christopher Marlowe, based on German stories about the title character Faust. It was probably written in 1592 or 1593, shortly before Marlowe's death.
About Faust
Faust, also called Faustus or Doctor Faustus, is the hero of one of the most durable legends in Western folklore and literature, the story of a German necromancer or astrologer who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power.
Text and Publication
The text is short for an English Renaissance play, only 1485 lines long. The 1616 quarto, published by John Wright, features the enlarged and altered text, usually called the B text.
