MAIN PARTS The life of Christopher Marlowe Christopher Marlowe was the son of a rich Canterbury shoemaker and a well-known member of his community. Marlowe was born on February 6, 1564, and christened on February 26 at Saint George's Church in Canterbury. Marlowe attended King's School in Canterbury before enrolling at Corpus Christi College in Cambridge in December 1580. He was a recipient of Archbishop Parker's scholarship, which was provided for six years to individuals pursuing a career in the church. This evidence suggests that Marlowe's objective was to enter the church, despite the fact that he first appears in the college records as a student of dialectics. In 1584, Marlowe got his B.A., and three years later, he received his M.A. Except for a few significant absences during his second year, his academic record was rather typical. The only issue Marlowe encountered was shortly before receiving his M.A. The college was going to postpone his degree because of the popularity of certain rumors. The queen's Privy Council addressed a letter to the university, assuring the college of Marlowe's integrity and declaring that he had served her majesty. The goal of this letter was to dispel reports that Marlowe intended to join the English Catholics in France at Reims. During these years, Marlowe appears to have served the government either transporting dispatches overseas or operating as a spy in the service of Sir Francis Walsingham, the leader of Queen Elizabeth's secret service. However, no concrete information exists as to what his exact activities or assignments in the service of the queen were. He came to London after getting his M.A., where he was part of a remarkable circle of young men that included Rawley, Nashe, and Kyd. Both sections of his first drama, Tamburlaine the Great, had been played on stage by the end of 1587. Marlowe was just twenty-three years old at the time, but he was already well-known as a dramatist as a result of the popularity of his first play. He spent the remaining six years of his life after graduating from university primarily in London's Shoreditch theater neighborhood. Despite the fact that he traveled often for the government during this time, he always had this London address. For a period, he shared a chamber with Thomas Kyd, the author of the popular Elizabethan play The Spanish Tragedy. Marlowe, according to Kyd, had a fiery temper and a cruel heart. Marlowe was imprisoned in Newgate in September 1589 for his role in a street fight in which William Bradley, the son of a Holborn innkeeper, was killed. Because one of Marlowe's pals, Watson, had slain the man with his sword, Marlowe was not charged with murder. On October 1, he was released on bail of forty pounds and given a warning to keep the peace. Marlowe was embroiled in a court action three years later, in 1592, when he was summoned to court for attacking two constables in the Shoreditch district. The cops stated that they were afraid for their lives as a result of Marlowe's threats. He was fined and let go. Marlowe was in trouble with the Privy Council again in the spring of 1593, this time for atheism and blasphemy. Thomas Kyd had been arrested for possessing heretical materials rejecting Christ's deity in his possession. Kyd refused ownership, insisting that they belonged to Marlowe. Marlowe was then summoned to the Privy Council, which ordered that he appear daily before them until he was granted permission to do so. Marlowe was assassinated twelve days later at a pub in Deptford, a dockyard near Greenwich. On that day, Marlowe accepted Ingram Frizer's invitation to dine at the tavern with several other young men of dubious character who had been involved in confidence games, swindles, and spy activities. After supper, Marlowe and Frizer got into an altercation about the tavern bill. When Marlowe stabbed Frizer with a knife in the head, Frizer spun around and thrust the dagger back at Marlowe, striking him on the forehead and killing him. Marlowe had a significant reputation as a dramatist throughout his brief career, thanks to four plays. In addition to his first play, Tamburlaine, he wrote Faustus in 1589 or 1592, The Jew of Malta in 1589, and Edward II in 1592. Aside from his dramatic works, he also translated Lucan's Pharsalia and Ovid's Amores. He also penned poetry, the most renowned of which are "The Massacre of Paris" and "Hero and Leander."
